Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book reports on the 1900 International Congress for the Unification of the Numbering of Yarn, which was held in Paris. The goal was to establish a single standard for numbering yarns and threads made from all materials, especially cotton. The book provides a detailed account of the proceedings, including the discussions and resolutions passed by the delegates. It also examines the state of the textile industry at the time, particularly the confusion caused by the use of different numbering systems in different countries. The resolutions passed by the Congress aimed to solve these problems by establishing a universal standard based on the metric system, with the number of meters per gram as the unit of measure. The book also discusses the challenges involved in implementing these changes, including the need to educate manufacturers and consumers about the new system. The book's insights into the historical development of yarn numbering standards make it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the textile industry or the standardization of measurement systems.
