Wool substitutes
A technical manual on wool substitutes and shoddy manufacture by Roberts Beaumont, published by Pitman in London and New York in 1922 for mill managers and textile students. Halftone photographs of carding and garnetting machinery sit beside line diagrams of roller paths and magnified views of fibres, yarns and combed webs, offering gear trains, threading schematics and striped fibre textures.
