dyeing word help

Aug 25, 2006 2 Replies

I know many of you have dabbled in dyeing and might have old resources on the subject. The book "The Dyeing of Woollen Fabrics" by Franklin Beech (London, 1902) is currently being processed in D.P. (see sig) and the post-processor has come across six unfamiliar words which may or may not be typos. If you recognize any of these and can vouch for them or correct them, please do so!


1. Chloresterine
> I suspect this one to be a typo for cholesterine, but I wonder

if it could be something related to chloride



> 2. Coeruline
> Could be a typo for coerulein (which appears twice in the

project), but I have 2 coeruleine as well.



> 3. Caseogum
>
> 4. Crysophis
>
> 5. Dufton [NOTE: This does not appear to be used as a place name.] > > 6. bracquing
