Extract

As a student in the Department of Textile Industries of the University of Leeds—then the Yorkshire College—I was taught to emulate the successes of my forefathers in the spinning of yarns and in the weaving of fabrics,—and also to perpetuate some of their errors. Empirical work, without any discrimination or “imaginative insight,” was the fundamental basis of practically all instruction.
