Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Second Annual Textile Conference: Held at the Bureau of Standards, Washington, May 21-22, 1917 A boss spinner came to me one day and said his work was running very badly. As it was on a rainy day in the winter, the first thought that came to me was that his room was too damp. He had closed up all of his windows in order to keep the damp ness out and the thermometer in his room registered 85° F. While it was only 62° outside. I told him to open all of his windows and to start up the fans, and in about two hours his work was running nicely. The reason is obvious, for it takes temperature to retain humidity. Therefore when we opened the windows the temperature went down about 15 degrees and there was a smaller number of grains of vapor per cubic foot: of air. The fact that you must have high temperatures to retain humidity Was demonstrated to me very clearly by noting the changes which take place in the storage room of an ice plant. This room was, of course, equipped with piping through which cold brine is passed to hold the temperature of the room low enough to keep the blocks of ice-from melting. A few minutes after the brine was turned on the floor became wet, because the sudden lowering of temperature caused condensation. In the early morning the outside air very often has a relative humidity of 80 to 90 per cent. This decreases as the day grows warmer, although there is just as much water vapor in the air, because the rise in temperature has increased the moisture holding capacity.
