- Summary:
- Argues that the popularity of fast and bright printing on textiles beginning late in the 17th century caused a permanent shortage of cotton yarn, which inspired the invention of spinning machines and eventually Thomas Bell's roller-printing equipment in 1783. Looks at the process as one of the last technologies imported into Europe from the orient, and one of the few with full historical documentation. No index. Translated from Hungarian. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
