Synopsis
Excerpt from Tests, Analyses and Research: Instruments and Textile Storage, Useful Tables and Publications
An official conditioning house for raw silk was established about eight decades later in France, in the year 1805, at Lyons. Here, instead of suspending the skeins on sticks, the conditioning was done by placing all the skeins of a bale on wire frames in a sealed box constructed so that the air could pass through it freely. This box per bale method had the advantage over the open room method of preventing mixing and theft. As at Turin the only variation in the procedure was that of heating the room in the winter season.
