Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comparative Effects of Mechanical Picking Spindles and Handpicking on Cotton Quality and Spinning Performance in Mississippi, 1960-63 The 3 - year average fiber strength of handpicked cotton measured with the zero gage was lower than that of spindle-picked cotton. However, when measured with the -inch gage, this average was higher than that of spindle-picked cotton. Thus, there appears to be little real difference in fiber strength of lint picked by hand or by any of the three types of spindles.
