This is a fascinating and detailed history of an important but little-known industry: the manufacture of card-clothing, which is used in the production of textiles. The authors trace the development of this industry from its origins in the early 19th century to the present day, exploring the technological and economic factors that have shaped it over time. They also provide a wealth of information on the key companies and individuals who have contributed to the industry's success, as well as the challenges and obstacles they faced along the way. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American industry and technology.
