Abstract

A brief outline of previous developments in compression testing of textiles is given and the details of construction of an instrument intended for the study of the compressional creep and creep recov ery of yarns and fabrics are noted. Preliminary results are pre sented to show the characteristics of the instrument. Later papers will discuss specific tests.
