Excerpt from The Standardization of Cotton Linters
The Official Linters Standards established in 1926 were composed of seven physical grades and one descriptive grade for hull fiber. Each grade consisted of a box of 12 condenser type linters placed in three horizontal rows of four samples each. The arrangement of the samples in each of the boxes is shown in Figure l. The samples representing each grade are referred to by number; as indicated.
The upper tier, samples 1, 2, 3 and h, in each pads was composed of and represented the standardized character of Southeastern linters. The middle tier, samples 5, 6, 7 and 8, in each grade represented character of Valley linters. The bottom tier, samples 9, 10, 11 and 12, represented the character of Western (texas-oklahoma) linters. (california-arizona character linters were not represented)

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the history of the standardization of cotton linters, a short fiber remaining on cottonseeds after the lint has been removed. Once a nuisance, linters have become valuable in the production of goods such as bedding, furniture, and batteries. The author details how the industry, initially reliant on private types to describe quality, worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop official standards in 1926. These standards provided a universal means for describing quality, aiding in production control and marketing. However, as processing methods changed, the standards no longer accurately represented the qualities being produced. Through surveys and the development of scientific measurement tools, this book outlines the process of revising the standards in 1956. The revised standards, which included physical and staple standards and the establishment of descriptive terms, better represented the range of qualities being produced and facilitated more equitable trading practices. This book provides a comprehensive account of the evolution of cotton linters standards, highlighting the collaboration between industry and government in establishing a common language for describing and evaluating the quality of this important commodity.
