Abstract
Dr. Thomas Barr has been appointed director of research to the British Hat and Allied Feltmakers Research Association. This newly formed Research Association will carry out investigations on problems provided by members of the felt-hat industry. Initially, the work of the Association will be carried out in accommodation provided by the Textile Industries Department of the University of Leeds. The location of the new research group at Leeds should prove an attraction and stimulus, since for the past quarter of a century Leeds has been-one of the most active centres of both fundamental and applied research on animal fibres. Dr. Barr is at present in charge of a research section in the I.C.I. Dyestuffs Division, carrying out fundamental research work on textile processes involving the study of cellulose, natural and regenerated, the modification of wool and physiochemical studies of colloidal electrolytes such as synthetic detergents, etc.
