Tests analyses and research : instruments and textile storage : useful tables and publications
A 1923 trade catalogue issued by the United States Testing Company of New York, describing its textile testing services, instruments and laboratories for manufacturers and buyers in the textile industry. The four pictures are rotated photographs of interior laboratory rooms, including a soap and oil laboratory, a strength testing fabric room, and a machine-filled hall with a large apparatus. A designer might take from them the dense, utilitarian character of early twentieth-century industrial laboratory equipment, with its pipes, benches, gauges and mechanical testing machines.
