B1-463a-b: Salts (Saltaire) Ltd - A Wool Record Survey
A public relations brochure detailing the major modernisation of textile machinery and processes in Salts Mill during the early 1970s. The text describes how the space in the Mill was reorganised to improve efficiency using a 'flow line' principle of production. The entire ground floor of the Mill was restructured. There was large-scale replacement of machinery by up-to-date models. There are photographs of the new machinery, including: 'Scourmatic' large scale scouring machines; 'Volkman' two-for-one twisting machinery; Hattersley and Knowles warping machines and Benninger warping machines; Sulzer weaving equipment; and Mount Hope machines for wet finishing and weft straightening. There are also full-page adverts for some of the equipment suppliers.
