DICKSON ON THE WEIGHT OF PRODUCTION 



The same lot was divided into three parts — one was 

 steeped in Holland in the open pools, and hand-scutched; 

 another was retted in Cregagh, Belfast, and mill-scutched; 

 the third at Patrington, also by the patent process, but was 

 retted twice, likewise mill-scutched.
