Abstract
A new system is described for measuring fibre diameter distributions rapidly and accurately, with minimum operator participation at any stage. It is based on the scanning of photographic images of aligned fibre snippets by a television camera connected to pulse-width-sorting circuitry, which gives an automatic print-out of the frequency distribution of fibre diameter. Results are given of measurements made with this system on IWTO standard tops that show very close agreement with accepted values.Keywords
