Book Description
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Second Annual Textile Conference: Held at the Bureau of Standards, Washington, May 21-22, 1917 A boss spinner came to me one day and said his work was running very badly. As it was on a rainy day in the winter, the first thought that came to me was that his room was too damp. He had closed up all of his windows in order to keep the damp ness out and the thermometer in his room registered 85° F. While it was only 62° outside. I told him to open all of his windows and to start up the fans, and in about two hours his work was running nicely. The reason is obvious, for it takes temperature to retain humidity. Therefore when we opened the windows the temperature went down about 15 degrees and there was a smaller number of grains of vapor per cubic foot: of air. The fact that you must have high temperatures to retain humidity Was demonstrated to me very clearly by noting the changes which take place in the storage room of an ice plant. This room was, of course, equipped with piping through which cold brine is passed to hold the temperature of the room low enough to keep the blocks of ice-from melting. A few minutes after the brine was turned on the floor became wet, because the sudden lowering of temperature caused condensation. In the early morning the outside air very often has a relative humidity of 80 to 90 per cent. This decreases as the day grows warmer, although there is just as much water vapor in the air, because the rise in temperature has increased the moisture holding capacity.

He needs that chemist far more than he has vision to understand. "What has science to say to me? What can technical men do for me?' '1'lB been too long and is yet too much the cry of the man who operates by rule of thumb. That rule of thumb is yet too prevalent; it is a part of the darkness, a part of the ignorance.. Out of that we are emerging, but we have a lot to learn. W e. could learn scientific application to industry from Germany. We could lear n thrift from France. We have taught the world many things, but we ourselves must be learners still. I have not any fear for the industries of America in any contest of the future if we bring to the front, into commanding power, in those industries the men of science. When the mill superintendent and agent listen to the scientific man, and listen attentively, with a welcome and open mind, then American industry has nothing to fear. Our weakness has been that we have listened with closed ears to the voice of science and have not opened our minds to the men who have studied to know. I have been a manufacturing man all my life, and I know whereof I speak from practical experience. I think. however, that the day is dawning when the sun of light is going to shine more upon all our industries. Some of them are now almost wholly on a scientific basis. I heard Dr. Steinmetz say not long ago that because his great industry was based upon scientific research and development he feared nothing from the competition of any nation on earth. I liked to hear him say this because the practical industrial success that has been achieved by the great industry of which he is the...
