| 520 | _a"Cordage and cordage hemp and fibres" by Thomas Woodhouse and Peter Kilgour is an industrial handbook written in the early 20th century. It explains the sources, preparation, spinning, and manufacture of cordage—ropes, cords, and twines—linking plant botany and cultivation to fibre extraction, grading, machinery, and practical rope-making, with notes on trade and marketing. The opening of the book sets its scope and value: a brief preface stresses cordage’s essential role in industry and promises a compact guide to fibres, processes, and machinery. It then defines “cordage” and surveys the three main fibre sources—leaf fibres (e.g., agave/sisal), bast fibres from stems (true hemp, flax, jute), and cotton from seed hairs—illustrating their structure and why cotton’s twist aids driving ropes. Early chapters distinguish soft fibres (true hemp from Cannabis sativa) from hard fibres (manila, sisal, New Zealand, Mauritius), outline hemp cultivation, and describe retting, breaking, and scutching, from traditional water-retting to mechanical methods. The narrative turns to hard fibres with practical notes on growing and harvesting manila and sisal, decortication, washing and baling setups, standardized grading, and concise production and price data, then begins the machinery section for soft fibres, describing softening, cutting/breaking, hackling strategy, and the start of the spread-board process where short lengths are formed into a continuous sliver.
