In preparing this book it has been my chief object to arrange facts and statistics in such a way that the figures shall not be merely lists of dimensions and speeds, but that they shall help to explain the value of each working part, in the theory and practice of wool combing.
The most recent types of machinery are taken as illustrations; this is not to emphasise the special design which, for the moment, is considered nearest to perfection, but to show, by comparison with older machines, what are the main ends in view in each successive process, what are the root principles involved, and in what way the most modern machines surpass their predecessors.
In some types, so little alteration has been made for many years, that some people seem to consider that finality of design has been reached. If we can judge from the march of events in other industries nothing could be further from the truth, and it seems that, if radical improvements are still to be effected, the consideration of root principles will give the necessary impetus, so that improvements will not necessarily be variations of some existing type, which may in its own way be very nearly perfect.
