    A public relations brochure detailing the major modernisation of textile machinery and processes in Salts Mill during the early 1970s.

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.
