Professor Barker described con- Milan..... ditions in Japanese and Chinese Montevideo mills. As exam cles of the effi- | Montreal ciency of the managing staff in Japan, he said that on one visit the discussion turned upon bre `structure, and reference was made to Mr. W. T. Astbury's recently published work on the X-ray struc- ture of fibres. This book was im- mediately prodused from the mill library! On. walking round an- other mill it was noted that, the power consumption of every frame in one of the spinning rooms was being tested and all frames tuned up to the best. "In one of Japan's iargest cotton mills we found one weaver easily following ten non- automatic looms. But in the spin- ning section of the mill we noticed that the latest methods of increas- ing the draft were not used to eliminate processes but to improve the strength of the yarn."
of On the position research. Professor Barker sald that up to the present Japan's endeavours have been directed towards utilising to the utmost every European and American achieve- ment, Thus in the wool Industry cases were noted where English machinery was being used to greater advantage by being com- bined along Continental lines. The Casablanca system of cotton- drawing and many other systems were in evidence in both Japanese and Chinese mills. Possibly in the problem of cotton-drawing Japan is doing a bit of really original research work. In ope of the Provincial Research Institutes in
