COTTON MANUFACTURING. PART I. deals with Fibre, Ginning, Mixing, Picking, Scutching and Carding; It gives a Complete Description of the Manufacture of Cotton Yarns from Planting the Seed to the Sliver Ready for Drawing or Combing, Explaining also the Construction of the Most Approved Modern Machinery Used in Connection with it. The purpose of the volume is to give the reader a thorough understanding of the cotton fibre and its manufacture into yarn including carding. It aims to reflect back upon first principles and unite theory and practise on a solid foundation, as regards the nature, construction, and uses of the cotton thread. Many of the earliest books on weaving, textiles and needlework, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
