Three pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, January 1921, mainly on how to analyze a woolen or worsted cloth sample. It covers burning tests to tell animal from vegetable fibres, distinguishing cotton from linen and flax from jute, and removing rubber from waterproofed cloth. It then gives rules and worked examples for estimating loom width, finished length, ends and picks per inch, and the shrinkage and take-up allowances. The scan also includes a short note on Norwegian import prohibitions and the start of an article on bleaching silk by the sulphur process.
