For the same reason the results of the fibre-tests and the yarn tests are given separately for the last six seasons while the results for the previous seasons have been averaged into three groups the first group containing the results for all the seasons falling within the period 1924-29 the second group containing the results for 1929-34 seasons and the third group for 1934-39 seasons. [...] In the case of the Sorter diagrams those for the current and the last seasons have been drawn separately while another one is drawn for the average of the results for the seasons falling within the period 1929-42. [...] These factors are (1) the supply of the type in relation to the competing types (2) the existence of an abnormally high or low demand for the type (3) the existence of a general or prolonged strike in the textile industry or the threat of a boycott from large scale buyers (4) the operations of a syndicate of buyers or sellers (5) the offer of a subsidy to a competing type etc. [...] It has been customary in the past to give in each issue of this Bulle tin full details of the machinery and the spinning technique employed in the spinning tests of the apparatus and the methods employed in the fibre and the yarn tests and of the standards of yarn strength and twist adopted at the Technological Laboratory. [...] For the single thread test the humidity is noted at the beginning and at the end of the tests on each bobbin and the mean of these two values is taken as the humidity for that bobbin giving in all 10 values for each count.
