Abstract: Excerpts from the report: To reduce operating costs, the cotton producing industry has become highly mechanized. To handle the increased volume of mechanically harvested cotton, the ginning industry has added drying and cleaning equipment. The textile industry, as well as the producer and ginner, has increased production efficiency as a means of reducing operating costs. This study is a segment of an investigation dealing with weaving performance and fabric properties as affected by certain ginning practices of drying, seed-cotton cleaning, and lint cleaning. The yarns used in this study were obtained from the third ginning-spinning study conducted by the Pilot Spinning Laboratory. The weaving and finishing investigations were performed by the Textile Research Department of Clemson College under a research contract.
