Cotton Manufacture: A Manual of Practical Instruction in the Processes of Opening, Carding, Combing, Drawing, Doubling, and Spinning of Cotton, and the Methods of Dyeing and Preparing Goods for the Market (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Cotton Manufacture: A Manual of Practical Instruction in the Processes of Opening, Carding, Combing, Drawing, Doubling, and Spinning of Cotton, and the Methods of Dyeing and Preparing Goods for the Market
In preparing those articles, I was able to utilise the experience of over fifty years' active occupation in the Manufacture of Cotton, in the course of which the positions I have filled have ranged from that of an Operative in various branches to the responsible one of Manager in mills, both at home and abroad. And it should be a further qualification for undertaking such a task, that for some time I held the important position of Technical Instructor of Managers and Overlookers.
Throughout the work, I have endeavoured to treat the subject from a thoroughly practical point of View, and to deal clearly but tersely with the various processes in their order of precedence.
