Abstract
WE have recently brought to a successful termination an investigation which was carried out to determine a combination of an X-ray generating plant and tube which would enable fibre photographs to be taken with exposures so low as to enhance the value of X-rays as a testing medium in the silk, wool, and allied industries. Fig. 1 is an X-ray photograph of ramie fibre of fifteen minutes' exposure. This exposure, however, greatly under-estimates the efficiency of the plant, since later photographs were produced with exposures of only thirty seconds' duration. This was repeated for wool and artificial silk.
