Abstract
A new testing technique is described in this paper which permits the use of the Pressley fiber jaws on the Scott I P-4 tester to measure the tensile strength of cotton fiber. This method also makes it possible to test the flat bundle at different test-specimen lengths or jaw spacings. Some data are included which show the effect of increase of test-specimen lengths on the tensile strength of cotton fiber and other textile fibers.
