Abstract
THIS book is a very readable report of five years' progress in industrial research carried out by the British Cotton Industry Research Association under the direction of the late Dr. A. W. Crossley, and may be considered as a memorial and tribute to him, who devoted the last days of his life to one of the most arduous of tasks, namely, the focusing of scientific talent on the problems of an industry in which the field of such endeavour is anything but clear.
Research in the Cotton Industry: a Review of the Work of the British Cotton Industry Research Association up to the end of 1926, carried out under the direction of the late Dr. Arthur William Crossley.
Edited by Dr. Robert H. Pickard. Pp. xv + 80 + 10 plates. (Manchester: Shirley Institute, 1927.) 5s.
