Talk:Textile manufacturing

message: Support The present Textile industry article is a rather poor one.  This is quite comprehensive, but there may be something in the other that could usefully be added to this one.  There is also a wider-ranging article Textiles, which should remain.  Peterkingiron 22:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge proposal

message: Okay, so I removed the historical bits about Peter Wilson, not because I don't like him or anything, but because I think that this article is not really about the history of how these things came to be, but the current how they are done. Thoughts? There is probably an article where this would fit in very well... Loggie 09:05, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  What is Liquid cotton.? 

message: The textile engineering article does not present sufficient information to stand on its own.  It should be merged into the more comprehensive textile manufacturing article. Neelix (talk) 19:24, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not happy with this idea.  The Textile engineering article describes the educational curriculum of college courses, whereas this article is attempting to provide a description of the processes involved.  These are quite different in concept.  I agree that they are parallel articles, something that is in principle to be avoided, but for the moment I would meerely suggest that the two articles be cross-linked.  Certainly, before any merge can be permitted the other article needs to be properly wikified and referenced.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:36, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: My concern arose when I realized that Textile Technology is bolded in the lede of textile engineering as a synonym for that concept, but Textile Technology actually links to textile manufacturing.  By cross-linking, do you mean placing a hatnote at the top of textile manufacturing noting the linguistic ambiguity and linking to textile engineering?  Another option would be to create a parent article for textile manufacturing and textile engineering called Textile Technology. Neelix (talk) 12:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I had not formed any strong views as to how to link them.  Hat-noting is certainly one possibility.  I think the real problem is that textile engineering is largely about the syllabus for a college course.  Another possibility might be to delete that article and redirect to textile manufacturing, on the basis that there is little or nothing worth merging.  I think I should say that textiles are not really quite my field as an economic historian, so that I will do no more than monitor what you or others do, rahther than doing much myself.  I would have expected textile engineering to be about the design of textile machinery (a branch of machine tools) and the application of textiles in engineering.  Courses in the subject would be about training those who were to operate textile mills in a technical sense (as opposed to mere managament.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:42, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I think that mending is literally that: as part of the finishing of a cloth, defects in its weaving are repaired.  However I am not an expert.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mending 

message: Hi all. I was looking for interwiki links for textile engineering from turkish wiki and i found myself here: Do textile engineering and textile manufacturing refer to the same thing? why Textile engineering redirects here? s.o help pls. --.ftkurt..M. 07:26, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: In my opinion no. See: . Textile engineering is principally about designing new fibres while Textile manufacturing is about taking the fibres and producing yarn and then fabrics. There is a need for a stand alone article on Textile technology/engineering. Of course there is an overlap. I think we are also seeing a shift in language: A computer programmer in the 1960s became the software engineer of the 1990s, and a new breed of coders then called themselves Computer programmers. I think that we see this here. As textile production moved to India, the language in the UK remained fixed in the 1940s, and the area adopted Indian English usage- which then trickled back into the UK. See also College of Textile Engineering and Technology. --ClemRutter (talk) 09:05, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Textile engineering

message: There could easily be an article describing the UK industry, especially cotton in Lancashire; and its ultimate decline, which is not well covered. There are a number of articles that deal with parts of this story, such as:
* Lancashire Cotton Famine
* Cotton Board (United Kingdom)
* Shirley Institute
Would this make sense? Jim Killock (talk) 22:38, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Sorry you erased this, as there is a need for several extra articles tying together the rise of cotton industry- and its collapse and fall. We do have Lancashire Cotton Corporation that deals with the Platt report and the 1936 act. We don't have anything on the Edwardian boom- Oldham Limiteds and very little at all on the weaving side. There is little on worsted and little on silk throwing. There are few people taking photos and we are very gratefull for he images we are getting from Chris Allen et al from Geograph.co.uk  All of this would make sense- and I am glad to help you in any new articles. If you want to cut your teeth more gently then the template below lists Cotton related articles- all of which can do with improving.

I look forward to seeing your name around.--ClemRutter (talk) 00:42, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

message: According to the Standard Specifications Performance it is impossible to achieve 100% specification conformance as human error can greatly affect the specifications of custom orders such as:
* 1) Material Identification
* 2) Mixtures of fiber composition body fabric for 70%/20%/10% Polyester/Cotton/Wool as per Test 3416:1962
* 3) Mixtures of fiber composition body fabric for 65%/35% Polyester/Cotton as per Test 3416:1962
* 4) Mixtures of fiber composition body fabric for 100% Acrylic as per Test 3416:1962
* 5) Mixtures of fiber composition body fabric for 100% Polyester as per Test 3416:1962
* 6) Color Mixtures
* 7) Mass per unit area minimum mixture tests 
* 8) Stitch density 13-14 density per 3 centimeters
In such specific requirements these percentages of error can be as much as 15 - 18%. This is deemed to be acceptable in the fabric and textile manufacturing industry. The set textile standards provide the specifications and test methods for the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of textiles, fabrics, and cloths, as well as the natural and artificial fibers that constitute them. The textiles covered by these standards are commonly formed by weaving, knitting, or spinning together fibers such as glass fiber strands, wool and other animal fibers, cotton and other plant-derived fibers, yarn, sewing threads, and mohair, to name a few. These textile standards help fabric and cloth designers and manufacturers in testing textiles to ensure acceptable characteristics towards proper end-use.

message: Looking at the lead section of textile manufacturing
and textile industry
the two sound quite the same.
Looking at the section textile industry#The industrial processes one can see the intention that textile manufacturing should be more about the production process, but this is not reflected in the lead section text.
