Abstract
The author suggests a new method of eliminating static electricity from textiles by means of β-ray irradiation. A guide roller which contains some β-ray sources below its circumference covered with any metalic thin plate, for example, aluminium or iron, is used for the purpose. If any textile having electrostatic charge on it is passed over the guide roller, static electricity is discharged by β-ray irradiation and immediately removed by its ionizing action. This has been shown by experiments.
