Abstract
RECEIVING its initial impetus from the activities of the University of Leeds, later aspiring to wider activities in the West Riding of Yorkshire, the British Research Association for the Woollen and Worsted Industries has now attained to full status under the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, and according to the report for 1918–19 of the council, just published, may claim to be one of the largest, wealthiest, and most active of the associations under the Department. The annual income, apart from special donations and interest, is nearly 12,000l, and it is hoped that ultimately the association will embrace the two thousand firms engaged in wool manufacturing in the British Isles. The outstanding feature of the year covered by the report has been the appointment of a director of research, Major H, J. W, Bliss having taken up his duties on March 24 last year.
