“…The &dquo;inclined-plane&dquo; [4,20,28,29], the &dquo;cap-stan&dquo; [8,13,15,16], the &dquo;Lepidometer&dquo; [7,27], and the &dquo;stick-slip&dquo; methods [5,9,18,19] have been used previously on other textile fibers. Methods based on damping of oscillations by fiber friction [12] and on the slippage of one of two twisted fibers [14] have also been tried.…”
