Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Cotton-Spinning Machinery Industry: Report on the Cost of Production of Cotton-Spinning Machinery in the United States Sir : I beg to submit herewith a report on the cost of production of cotton-spinning machinery in the years 1906 to 1914, comprising a study of the manufacture of such machines as are used in the various processes from the opening of the bale to the spinning of the cotton. This investigation was undertaken in accordance with the act of Congress approved August 23, 1912, establishing the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. In addition to presenting the cost of production, the report contains information concerning manufacturing and selling methods, working conditions, imports and exports, and other features or conditions of this industry which were observed by the special agents. While in earlier years the American cot ton-textile industry was mainly dependent upon foreign manufacturers for machinery, this dependence has been gradually removed, and at the present time statistics obtained from cotton mills throughout the United States show that over 90 per cent of the cotton-textile machinery installed is of American manufacture. Statistics of the value of imports and exports of cotton-spinning machinery are not available, but an examination of the invoices at the United States appraisers´ offices in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia shows that the number of cotton-textile machines imported at these ports decreased from 1,132 in 1909 to 275 in 1914. The duty on these machines is 20 per cent ad valorem. While the amount of exports of cotton-spinning machinery of the kind considered in this report is unknown, it was found upon inquiry among the manufacturers that it is very small, in fact almost negligible. There is a feeling among some manufacturers that the time is now ripe to branch out into the foreign markets. In the investigation of the cost of production of cotton-spinning machinery, reports were received from three firms owning six plants in New England. These firms produce between 80 and 90 per cent of the domestic output of the machinery of the land considered. The data cover a period of nine years.
