Abstract

An instrument is described for the rapid measurement of the staple length of greasy wool. The staple travels through an optical plane of detection, where the ends of the staple are recognized. The distance travelled by the staple while in this plane is the staple length. The instrument is suitable for use with an automatic-feed device, and the length data can be fed into a computer. Advantage has been taken of these attributes to include it as the length-measuring system for the CSIRO Automatic Tester for Length and Strength (ATLAS).
