Three pages from The Textile Mercury of 21 December 1889. The first article continues a series on Platt Brothers' machinery for preparing and spinning barchent and waste yarns, describing the breaker card, the Derby doubler and the finisher card with condenser. The remainder reproduces a Kew Bulletin report on the 1889 Paris Exposition trials of ramie decorticating machines (Barbier, Favier, Michotte, De Landtsheer, and the Fleury-Moriceau boiling process), with output figures compared with 1888. Short unrelated notes on the Bar-Lock type-writer, the Tyneside chemical trade and tempered copper fill the end.
