IINDUSc0 MAKES
new TYPE OF
SPINNING SETS

After two years of research and ex
perimentation, the Chinese Industrial
Co-operatives have started the repro
spinning sets that will greatly increase
textile production in China, it was an
nounced by David Leacock, technical
director of Indusco, Inc, American
Committee in Aid of Chinese Indus
trial Co-operatives
Similar machines. called the Ghosh
and H. F. Spinning Sets, have been
used by small industry in India for
many years, but transportation diff
culties prevented attempts to bring
replace the old-fashioned spinning
wheels Blueprints for the machines
were finally located within China, and
after being checked and modified by
Chinese Industrial Cooperative engi-
neers, two model sets of machinery
were made and are now being dupli-
Gated at Chengtu, Szechwan and Lam
chow, Kansu, in CIC machine shops.
Mr. Leacock poiated out that the
size and simplicity of the new ma
chimes lend themselves to the small
co-operatives To teach CIC members
the use of this machinery, a technical
training school has been set up in
Chengtu with Is boys from the Ian
chow Bailie school as the first stu
dents. They will return to Lanchow
to pass on their knowledge. In charge
of instruction are Prof Charles Riggs
of the University of Nanuking, who
also serves on the Institute for the
of Indusco, and Lang
Wang, engineer of the IAI
The greatest industrial losses in
China during the first year of war
were the textile factories destroyed or
occupied by the Japanese. Today
nearly two-thirds of the Chinese In
1ustrial Co-operatives' output, worth
100000 monthly, consists of textiles.
Funds to purchase the original ma
chine sets were supplied by United
China Relief, of which Indusco is
agency.

Mr. Brooks outlined the function of

which will bring labor activity into

ties. This is being accomplished
through labor representation on local
boards.
