1. Spinning of Manmade Fibres and Blends on Cotton System
K.R. Salhotra, 3rd Edition, 2004, p.332, Rs. 150; $ 30 This extensively revised version lucidly explains the phenomena underlying the spinning processes of the cotton system. Crucial points that may escape attention owing to the pressure of managing production are identified for control and improvement of quality and productivity. A must buy for technologists and managers of manmade fibre spinning mills, and also for students.
2. Introduction to Textile Fibres
H V Sreenivasa Murthy, 1987, p.147, Out of Print All natural and manmade fibres of commercial interest are covered: fibre production, structure, properties and moisture relations are succinctly described. The technical consequences of important fibre properties are also brought out. Students of textile technology and quality controllers in textile mills will find this short but thorough book very useful.
3. A General Equation for Estimating Yarn Tenacity
T. A. Subramanian, 2006, p. 150, Rs. 100; $20 This research monograph is an excellent example of how good quantitative theory helps mills to reduce costs while achieving the desired tenacity in cotton yarns. Cotton spinning mills with sophisticated fibre testing instruments can save cotton costs up to 4% using this prediction equation.
4. Comprehensive Handbook of Spinning Maintenance
Neeraj Nijhawan, 2006, Set of 3 Parts, p. 820, Rs. 400; $ 80
Part 1: Maintenance Management, p.268, Rs. 200; $ 40
Part 2: Spinning Accessories, p.244, Rs. 100; $ 20
Part 3: General Engineering, p. 368, Rs. 150; $ 30
Every spinning mill on cotton and manmade fibres can assess its level of excellence in maintenance management and most will be able to improve it using Part 1. Parts 2 and 3 not only make available widely scattered use-worthy information, but also give several directives for ensuring that the work practices are right.
