The use of MgC12 in the sizing process for handloom weaving has been the subject of the research dealt with in this Bulletin in spite of these apparent disadvantages because in the handloom weaving process the warp is not subjected to high temperatures during the drying process and the cloth is never calendered. [...] Moreover as the variations in the results of the tests on the unsized yarns may be attributed to the uneven diameters of the yarns variations in the strengths of the sized yarns may be attributed to the uneven application of the size in the hansizing process. [...] The main difference in the appearance and feel of the yarn seemed to he that whereas the yarn from the various centres was stiff and rounded that sized in the Institute laboratory was softer and not quite so rounded. [...] These tests were made with the object of determining under conditions similar to those obtaining in the handloom weaving industry the coparative weaving qualities of the most promising of the Institute size mixings experimented with in the previous tests with a view to selecting those giving the best weaving qualities for the purpose of testing them against the size mixings employed in the v [...] Oil.. 0 2 10 0 2 ► O 0 4.5 O 0 1.2 7 108 It will be seen from this table that there is a greater variation of cost amongst the country size mixings than amongst those of the habitats and that the former show costs much greater than those of the latter !the only exception being the Lakkundi centre where the cost is practically the same as the highest Institute size-mixing cost.
