PREFACE.

This small book is written with the object of describing in outline the various processes and the machinery in common use in Bleaching, Dyeing, Printing, and Finishing Cotton Fabrics. Many improvements on the machinery referred to and special apparatus connected therewith are not explained in the text or shown in the illustrations. It is not intended to deal with the chemical details of the many operations, as there are several reliable technical books already published for this purpose.

David G. Norton.
