A 1956 textbook by Charles Z. Carroll-Porczynski, published by The Textile Institute, Manchester. It covers asbestos from mineralogy, mining and milling through opening, blending, carding, spinning and weaving, then brake linings, asbestos-cement, plastics and other uses, with patent reviews and statistics. The preface says the author's own research is mainly in the testing chapter. A section on impurities discusses asbestos dust, reprints regulations headed "Factory and Workshop Act 1932", and abstracts studies of asbestosis and lung cancer.
