Essays on Spinning

‘Lowell Mills’ referred to collectively, is a reference to the series of mills and factories which were built in the city of Lowell. These factories and mills were unique for the time in that they combined the two separate disciplines of spinning and weaving under the same roof, rather than having them in separate buildings, which was a feature which helped to boost the mass production of cloth. By the time of the 1830s, it was estimated that roughly three-quarters of the work force in the Lowell factories were women. These combination mills came to be known as the ...

Background

The Multifibre Agreement was developed in 1974 and governed the world’s textile sector until 2004 when it was phased-out. The accord inflicted quotas on the amount developing countries could export to the developed world. It was meant to help the developed countries adjust to existing absolute advantage that the developing countries have in the textile industry. The existence of the agreement allowed the Bangladesh textile industry to flourish in the 20th century and early 21st century. It was highly expected that the phase-out of the MFA would greatly affect Bangladesh negatively as the country was highly dependent on ...

Melt spinning refers to a method that is used to cool liquids in a rapid manner. The method involves the internal cooling of a wheel using liquid nitrogen or water. The wheel is then rotated as it cools. A liquid is streamed onto the cooling wheel, and that causes it to solidify rapidly. Melt Spinning is used in the development of objects that demand high cooling rates for them to form. A good example of such material is metallic glass. Polymers that can undergo melting use the melt spinning technique (NPTEL, 2010). Examples of such polymers include polyester; sulfur; ...

My name is Archibald Jones. Throughout my lifetime I lived through a ton of advancements in industrial production. I’ve ever heard some people call it a revolution – an industrial revolution. I’m not sure I’d go that far, but from when I first moved into my farm and to where I am today, I can tell you, things have changed a ton.
