The Textile Machinery Society of Japan: An Appraisal

The Textile Machinery Society of Japan is essentially an academic organ dedicated to contribution toward the advancement of knowledge and technique in the textile and textile machinery industries. The membership of the Society comprises engineers and researchers of universities, research institutes, textile manufacturing companies, textile machinery manufacturing companies, or individuals of expert knowledge and experience connected with these organizations. The Society takes a modest pride in the contributions it has made to the textile and textile machinery industries. As part of its work, the Society has been publishing a monthly journal in Japanese, setting forth the results of researches, studies and experiments by its members. Public reaction to the vernacular edition prompted us to start an English edition containing information on the Society's activities and proceedings, articles and treatises considered of special international interest. The English edition, first published in March 1955, is issued semi-annually. The present publication dates are June and December. The English edition enjoys a wide foreign circulation and has many exchange partners abroad. -Ed.
