IMPROVED WOOL PACK
DUNEDIN INVENTION SUCCESSFUL
Private advice lias been received from the Bradford special wool pack committee tliat R. Coghill’s patented treatment of jute wool packs, which i were placed under practical trial 1 several months ago by a local firm of : stock agents, Is a great improvement j on anything that has yet been submitted from either Australia or New | Zaeland. Members of the committee I were unanimous in their opinion that one drawback has not been remedied. This refers to the "splitting” of jute when the hooks have been used. This trouble has been encountered also | when the bale has been cut. Anticipating some such difficulty, the inventor improved his patents, and the latest plan, when applied under practical working conditions, should completely remove the nuisance of loose jute fibres in wool. It is hoped that the inventions will be applied to wool packs, and to sacking made from our native fibre, thus making the finished article far superior to anything obtainable elsewhere.
