OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"Mr. Brooks is well and favourably known in the textile industries as a writer of excellent text-books in connection with the cotton trade.... In this book he has succeeded in doing the work, avoiding on the one hand intricate mathematical problems, which are discarded in practice, and on the other giving clear and simple rules for making all the calculations required in the spinning and manufacturing of cotton goods."—Textile Recorder.
"Hitherto the books published on weaving calculations have lacked the thorough instruction which characterises Mr. Brooks’s brochure, and many cotton students will find it a decidedly useful guide. The chapters on cloth and yarn calculations will be found decidedly useful and interesting. Mr. Brooks is to be congratulated on placing before the trade a vade mecum of considerable merit."—Textile World.
"This is one of the most useful works connected with cotton manufacturing that we have ever seen. No overseer or any one having to do with calculations in a cotton-mill should be without it."—Boston Journal of Commerce, U.S.A.
"The author of this book is well known for his excellent work on ‘Cotton Manufacturing,’ which deals very fully with all operations involved in the industry. These calculations will also be found extremely useful to those for whom it is intended. It has been carefully written, and should have a place on every weaving bookshelf."—Textile Manufacturer.

ORIGINAL INVENTORS AND MAKERS OF STEEL AND BRASS PLATED
BOBBINS AND TUBES.
We make a speciality of Light Cardroom Tubes with small diameters for fine counts. We have excellent facilities for cutting, seasoning, and partially preparing both Tubes and Bobbins before turning. We have large stocks of regular sizes always seasoning, the process occupying from two months up to two years. We are thus enabled to guarantee exact and uniform diameters.
We are the largest makers of Ring Twist Bobbins and Ring Weft Pirns. Every Bobbin is carefully balanced. Rabbeth Ring Twist Bobbins, with Wilson Brothers’ Patent “G” Shield, are the strongest Bobbins in the market, and capable of resisting 50 per cent. more pressure than any other protected Bobbins, and 150 per cent. more than Bobbins without metal Protectors.
Warping and Winding Bobbins fitted with Wilson Brothers’ Patent Flange Binders cannot open at the Joints, and are so made that it is almost impossible for them to be broken with ordinary usage.
We have put down a plant for making Wood Bobbins and Skewers Damp and Steam Proof. We Enamel Rabbeth Ring Twist and Ring Weft Pirns, also Lancewood Cop Skewers, so that Yarn can be conditioned on the Bobbin or Skewer without damage.

NON-CONDUCTING COMPOSITION
IS pronounced by practical Civil, Gas, Mining, and other Engineers, and a large number of Firms who have tested its value, to be the Best, Most Durable, and Cheapest Non-Conducting Material in the market, effecting a considerable saving in fuel by preventing the radiation of heat. Saves cost in a few weeks. Will not burn. Numerous Testimonials, and over Nine Thousand References.
Some idea may be gathered of the saving effected by our Composition from the fact that in scores of cases extending over a period of twenty years, where concerns have been worked by four boilers, after being coated with our Composition they have been enabled to work the concern with three boilers, and allow one to be at rest.
Will Last Twenty Years. Does not Shrink.
