Abstract: Excerpts from the report Preface: Few wool warehouses were planned and constructed with the benefits of technical assistance. Poorly arranged multistory warehouses have discouraged grading methods that use mechanized equipment. Thus, wool is graded in most warehouses primarily by manual methods with relatively high labor costs. This report provides data and guidelines on the relative efficiency of certain methods of grading wool. Methods of grading consigned wool and warehouse-owned wool involve substantially different labor and equipment requirements and costs and are, therefore, analyzed separately.
