Abstract
THERE are two aspects of the drawing of synthetic fibres which have not so far been treated very fully in the literature. These are, respectively, the behaviour of the fibre during continuous drawing on the machine (as opposed to simple stretching on a tensometer) and the formation and maintenance of a “neck” during drawing1. These two problems are intimately related to one another, since a continuous drawing machine, operating as a steady-state tensometer, is a particularly suitable tool for examining ‘necking’.
