Helical Fibrillar Structure of Vegetable Fibres

Abstract

WE have seen the comments1 of Sen and De on our note2. It seemed unnecessary to mention that the paired-variate method was used in each case in getting the standard error of the difference, the bundles used for each pair of tests (with S- and Z-twist) being obtained by dividing a sub-sample into two parts. If the results are examined in the light of this explanation, it will be seen that in the case of the breaking-load the difference between the S-twist and Z-twist results is highly significant for both samples.
