52—The Initial Resistance of Crimped Wool Fibres to Extension

Abstract
The study of the resistance, at zero load, offered by crimped wool fibres to uncrimping by extension has been extended to crimped steel wires and an empirical relationship between the tension and the length of the crimped fibre has been employed for investigating the initial resistance to extension. The relative importance of various factors in causing differences in crimp extensibility of merino wools generally is discussed.
