Abstract
It seems important that we have full knowledge of how far the efficiency of scouring and drying varies with the degree of the porosity of fed wool assemblies, opened or unopened.
The author has made experiments, analyses and measurements concerning the mechanism of porosity construction as a basic subject for inquiry. His findings are given in this article.
The author has also made experiments to inquire into the effect of wool porosity on the practical processes of steeping, scouring and drying, in the hope of offering a guide in actual operations. His findings will be published in later issues.
