A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Foreword THE chapters in the succeeding pages of this book present the results of five years of painstaking research into a subject that is of the keenest interest to laundryowners. The authors of this book have not only handled their subject from an analytical and scientific standpoint, but they have succeeded in putting it together in a truly readable and interesting literary style. The subject The Conservation ofT extiles is one with which every laundryowner should be familiar. Our knowledge of textiles has been more of an intuitional nature than of one of positive understanding of their origin, compositiop and peculiarities. A positive and sympathetic understanding of the goods we are called upon to renovate is of the greatest importance to ourselves and to the public. We all are or should be deeply concerned with the conservation of textiles. Our reputations as launderers are at stake not only that but the reputation and advancement of our industry are greatly influenced by the degree of accuracy with which we classify the goods we are to launder, and by the degree of accuracy with which we prescribe the treatment they are to receive. The Department of Chemical Engineering, theD irector and Associate Director of which Department are the authors of this treatise on textiles, has already given to the members of this Association its Standard Formulas for Washroom Practice.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
