The more pitch trouble was experienced by cylinder machine than by the fourdrinier during the season of June-Sept. last year at Geibo mill of Nippon Shigyo K.K. The actual condition of pitch trouble at the mill and the extent of damages are described. As possible preventives, the uses of alum cake and infusorial earth in the beater are suggested.
