16—ON THE HEAT TRANSMISSION OF TEXTILE FABRICS

Abstract
An apparatus is described which the authors used for measuring the heat transmission of textile fabrics. The heat transmission of some of the clothing worn by men indoors was investigated at various wind velocities, and curves relating conductance as well as T.I.V. with wind velocity for various fabrics and combinations of fabrics are given. The effect of a quarter inch air space between the clothing and the skin was also investigated.
