Lin FOR WARPS IN COTTON MANUFACTURES.—
An invention,
as well as the trade, is just now beginning to attract atten-
tion in Lancashire. It is a discovery by Mr. John Leigh,
which is of considerable interest to the public
surgeon and analytical chemist to the Manchester Corpora..
tion Gasworks, of a substitute for the size hitherto made
from flour, which is used in the manufacture of cotton cloth.
This substitute is made of a silicate of soda, or preparation
of sand Several manufacturers at Blackburn have been
engaged in the experiments necessary to test its efficiency,
and 400 to 500 pieces of cloth have been made with this
description of dee for the warps. The cloth in which it has
been used is quite equal in colour and softness, whilst
expel iments have shown that it does not interfere with the
strength of the fabric, or produce any deteriorating chemical
effects. It is calculated that a saving of 25 to 60 per cent
will be effected by the adoption of this instead of flour size,
whilst the quantity of flour which will be set at liberty for
the purposes of food, should it become generally adopted,
will be equal, it is thought, to about £3,000,000 to
£3,500,000 per annum. On an average it is estimated
othsatwoaublodutsoapoy s m utchhe flour is useded in its manufacture gag
s in making cotton cloth
with bread ; and, besides the size used in manufacturing
cloth at home, we ship a good many sized warps to foreign
Markets.
