CRASH

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 379 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CRASH , a technical textile
term
  applied to a species of narrow towels, from 14 to 20 in. wide. The name is probably of
Russian
  origin, the simplest and coarsest type of the
cloth
  being known as "
Russia
  crash." The latter is made from grey flax or tow yarns, and sometimes from boiled yarns. The simple
term
  " crash " is given to all these narrow cloths, but the above distinction is very convenient, as also are the following: grey, boiled, bleached,plain, twilled and
fancy
  crash. A large variety obtains with and without
fancy
  borders, while of
late
  years
cotton
  has been introduced as warp, as well as mixed and jute yarns for weft. After the
cloth
  has passed through all the
finishing
  operations, it is cut up into lengths of about 3 yds., the two ends sewn together and it is then ready to be placed over a suspended roller; for this reason it is often termed "roller towelling."
