  • Local Disadvantages and the Weaver's Wage in the British Cotton Industry
    Local Disadvantages and the Weaver's Wage in the British Cotton Industry K.C.Jackson Department of Textile Industries, University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT. 1 Introduction A recent paper in " Ars Textrina" [ 1 ] provided an assessment of the Uni­ form List,1 which was the basis for determining the piece-rate earnings of weavers in most sectors of the British cotton industry from 1892, until it was gradually superseded following the Second World War. Although the List introduced rigidities in the labour market, nominally it had the advantage for operatives and employers alike, of discouraging under­ cutting of selling prices on the basis of wage cuts during periods of poor trade. However, this safeguard did not survive the severe pressures of the interwar years, as the legalisation of the List in 1935 testifies [2]. Un­ der more favorable trading conditions, the List also reduced the chances of disputes arising from wage differentials between mills and between districts. While the Uniform List provided a focus for collective wage bar­ gaining at industry level between the Amalgamated Weavers' Associ­ ation (AWA) and the Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers' Association (CSMA), it was not applied universally, since there were sectors of cot­ ton weaving for which its provisions were not appropriate. Thus sepa­ rate arrangements evolved in the production of sheetings, the weaving 1 Although the term Uniform List is used throughout this paper, the discussion below relates also to the Colne List, which from 1892 to 1935 was the industry-wide basis for determining wages in the weaving of coloured fabrics. The original Uni­ form List and the Colne List formed the basis respectively of the Grey and Coloured Sections of the revised Uniform List of 1935.

  • The Jaina Cult of Relic Stūpas
    The Jaina Cult of Relic Stūpas Peter Flügel1 (SOAS) Abstract This article gives an overview of recent findings on the thriving cult of bone relic stūpas in contemporary Jaina culture. Although Jaina doctrine rejects the worship of material objects, fieldwork in India on the hitherto unstudied current Jaina mortuary rituals furnished clear evidence for the ubiquity of bone relic stūpas and relic venera- tion across the Jaina sectarian spectrum. The article discusses a representative case and assesses the significance of the overall findings for the history of religions. It also offers a new theoretical explanation of the power of relics. Keywords Jaina relic stūpas, mortuary rituals, Vallabha Samudāya, cultural unconscious, theory of generalized symbolic media, relics as social forms 1) I am indebted to Ācārya Vijaya Virendra Sūri, Muni Rajendra Vijaya, Sādhvī Suvratā Śrī, Rāj Kumār Jain, Tejpāl Jain, Vinod N. Dalal, Kīrti Prasād Jain, N. P. Jain, S. Sheth, M. P. Sheth and other members and supporters of the Vallabha Samudāya for their generous help during field research in India, and to Janet Leigh Foster for enhancing the quality of the photos of images selected from the photo albums of the Vallabha Smāraka which were taken with permission. Without the support of Ācārya Mahāprajña, Ācārya Śivmuni, Pravartaka Umeśmuni, Salāhakāra Dineś Muni, Upap- ravartaka Gautama Muni, Sādhvī Ārcanā, Mūḍabidarī Bhatṭ ārakạ Cārukīrti, Sohanlāl Sañcetī, and other Jains in India, my research on Jaina relic stūpas would not have been possible. I would like to thank all of them. I also wish to express my gratitude to Bansidhar Bhatt, Willem B.

Norwood, Mass., U.S.A. ; 155688 PREFACE This book has been written primarily to meet a need arising from the introduction of the study of textiles into the curriculum of the high school. The aim has been, there- fore, to present the subject matter in a form sufficiently simple and interesting to be grasped readily by the high school student, without sacrificing essential facts. It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highl}^ developed and complicated machinerj^ of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.

  • How Do We Name a Weave? Weaves Three Basic Weaves
    How do we name a weave? • Fabric structure • Fabric weight • • Yarn balance • Finishes Weaves Basic weaves – Plain weave • Basket weave – Twill weave • even-sided • warp-faced – Satin weave • • Sateen Complex weaves – Figured weave • Lappet, swivel, spot • Jacquard – Pile weave – Leno weave – Crepe and crepe effect Three Basic Weaves • Plain weave : made by weaving one weft yarn over and under each warp yarn, alternating each row. It is the most common type of weave. • Twill weave : • • Satin weave : made by "floating" the warp or weft yarns across several yarns to bring them to the surface. Plain Weaves • Simplest weave, can be made on a loom having only two harnesses. • Weave provides maximum number of yarn interlacings: each warp goes over one fill then under the next, with odd and even yarns weaving opposite to each other. Characteristics of Plain Weave • Raveling related to count & yarn cohesiveness • • • Used in apparel, furnishings, & industrial goods • Weight dictates end use: lighter weights in apparel & curtains; heavier weights in upholstery, draperies, & industrial goods Fairchild’s Dictionary of Textiles, 7th ed. Plain weaves • Simplest and most important of the three basic weaves, used in about 80% of all woven fabric • The plain weave repeats on two ends and two picks. The first end passes over the first pick and under the second pick. The second pick reverses this action, and weaves one down and one up. The weave is executed by passing each filling yarn successively over and under each warp yarn, alternating each row. • • • • Broadcloth, Calico, Muslin, Print cloth, Sheeting, Taffeta • Derivative; Basket weave Plain Weaves • About 90% of all cloth woven is plain weave.
