Excerpt from The Principles and Processes of Cotton Yarn Manufacture, Vol. 1 For a number of years there has been felt the need of a brief American treatise on the theory and practice of cotton yarn manufacture. A few excellent hooks have been written on the subject, notably, in German, the "Baumwoll-splnerel'* of Otto Johannson, only one volume of which has thus far appeared, and in English, Taggart's "Cotton Spinning" and XaSmlth'S Student's "Cotton Spinning." The first of these is exceedingly exhaustive, v scope, the others less so but very comprehensive. None of them is American nor is there any hook on the market that satisfactorily meets the demands of the American textile school student. The subject is undoubtedly so broad that thoroughly to cover it volumes must be written. An elementary text-book, however, should not be too exhaustive, but should rather serve as a sort of skeleton to which much may be added from time to time. The little book here presented aims to supply in some measure the long-felt want. The writer has endeavored to set forth briefly the Important underlying principles of yarn manufacture, together with descriptions of the machines used, treating no subject exhaustively but with ample scope for the purpose of early study. He has dealt with American machines almost entirely, and has tried to treat the subject from the point of view of American practice. While the book is primarily intended to be used as a basis for instruction and lectures at the Philadelphia d104ile School, it Is hoped that all students beginning the study of cotton yarn manufacture may be able to obtain some little profit from its pages.
