Synopsis

This book contains instructions, calculations and tables on building, spinning and weaving cotton, and is an authority on the cotton manufacturing process. The author combines both theoretical and practical knowledge to guide the reader in setting up a cotton mill and producing cotton fabric efficiently. Although written in the 19th century, the mathematical and mechanical principles in this book are still fundamental to the textile industry, making it a valuable text for contemporary spinners and weavers. The author emphasises the importance of harmony between the speeds of machinery, from the cotton picker to the loom. He details how to adjust gears and pulleys to produce the desired tension, and the calculations needed to achieve specific results. For today’s textile engineers, the book offers insights into the historical development of cotton manufacturing, while also providing practical solutions for optimising production.
