Wrinkling of fabrics in laboratory tests and in wear was compared with fabric-constructional parameters. A highly significant correlation was established between the reciprocal of a tightness–crimp factor and wrinkling. The expression for this factor is a logical one, but no theory is presented in its support.","PeriodicalId":17650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Textile Institute Transactions","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1966-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86298146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The yarns were knitted into fabrics, and the streakiness of the fabrics was assessed by a panel of judges, whose ranking of the fabrics was analysed statistically. It is shown that the number of doublings employed during drawing has no effect on fabric streakiness. No difference in streakiness was observed between yams spun on a high-draft system and those spun on a conventional system. When pre-mixing was omitted, decreasing the weights of slivers and increasing their number produced only a slight improvement in the degree of mix, and maintaining an orderly arrangement of slivers behind the gill-box by means of special sliver guides led to only a slight improvement. Card-mixing is shown to be a valuable mixing technique that deserves serious consideration.

Tests made on wool from 157 Fleisch merino ewes and 72 Caucasian merino ewes showed that the Fleisch merino had a significantly lower greasy-fleece weight, longer staple and fibre lengths, a higher number of crinips, coarser fibres, and higher strength and extensibility than the Caucasian merino. However, both breeds had an almost identical clean-wool percentage. The age of the sheep proved to have a significant effect on greasy-fleece weight, clean-wool percentage, fibre length, and number of crimps but no significant effect on staple length, fibre diameter, fibre strength, and fibre extensibility.","PeriodicalId":17650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Textile Institute Transactions","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1966-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84147926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper describes laboratory experiments designed to increase existing knowledge of how these large cords perform compared with the smaller cords now widely used. A simple definition of cord angle is presented to enable the required twist levels of large cords to be quickly and easily determined. In the description of experiments to determine how large cords can best be handled during dipping, drying, and stretching, there is a comparison of the constant-tension and constantstretch methods of cord-stretching. The adhesion to rubber of a range of nylon cords is assessed.","PeriodicalId":17650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Textile Institute Transactions","volume":"6 12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1966-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88648094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
