The resistance of a single cotton hair to extension is the ultimate factor in the tensile behaviour of all cotton textiles, and is also of interest in the study of hair structure. Some experiments on the effect of humidity on the breaking load have already been described^, but the more complete specification of the tensile behaviour given by measurements of ultimate extension and of resistance to extension up to the breaking point demands more elaborate apparatus and laborious observation. Barratt^ described a" Fibre Balance." that serves the purpose, but from the present point of view his recorded observations on cotton serve only as illustrations of the methods. The problems now discussed demand more extensive and statistical data such as those given in this paper.The apparatus employed was a modification of Barratt's, made from an accurate analytical balance with short arms. Near its axis, a fixed and a moving mirror were added, which, by multiple reflection of a beam of light on a scale, produced an eighty-fold magnification of the extension of the specimen. This was fastened in a special grip on one arm, the other being loaded by an O'Neill float, which was found both simpler and more efficient than the electro-magnetic device used by Barratt. This balance was enclosed in a humidity control box^ and the hairs were sampled, mounted, and conditioned by the methods also described in the paper quoted. The efflux from the O'Neill cylinder was arranged to give any desired rate of loading and to be stopped and started by one observer, who also watched the spot of light that indicated on the scale the extension of the specimen.
