Extract

The ‘conventional’ method of measuring the area of a wool sample patch involves the direct in situ measurement of the patch dimensions while in the field using callipers (Turner et al. 1953). This procedure is time consuming and expensive in terms of labour required. In an attempt to reduce the cost and increase the speed of the procedure in the field a new method was devised and tested.
