Synopsis
Excerpt from Principles of Worsted Spinning
The object of this book is not to give a mass of data of a type that might be used in circumstances fixed by arbitrary rules, but to attempt to formulate the principles that underlie the many complicated processes involved in Worsted Spinning.
Data and full particulars of up-to-date' machines are given for each process, but they are there to show how far the writer's theories may be made to fit with facts, as they exist. The figures as they stand are those suggested by Prince Smith Sons. They may be taken as an illustration of the fact that in this book there has been no attempt to make existing practice fit with theory, unless it can be done consistently. N 0 one must ever look upon the figures or the theories as things of any value in themselves, but only as a means by which all kinds of men with different equipment, different means, may reach a common end.
The value of all theories will be most to those who check each one by observation, on their own machines; for it is pointed out that those who prove that any well-accepted theory is quite incorrect will do themselves the greatest service, because they then will be in full position to avoid the errors of their neighbours.
