Salvage. Wool reclamation. A battery of rag-picking machines in an Eastern wool-reclaiming plant. These machines shred woolen rags to break them down into wool fiber, which is then mixed with virgin wool. The resulting mixture will be spun into yarns from which new woolen fabrics will be woven

Salvage. Wool reclamation. Layers of reclaimed wool and virgin wool are blended in an Eastern wool-reclamation plant. Here wools of different colors are laid in layers of the same thickness before being fed into a mixing picker. Experimentation and improved processing permit the use of up to eighty-five percent of reclaimed wool in new cloths, which, in quality and strength, compares favorably with virgin wool fabric

Salvage. Wool reclamation. Bales of wool rags, from which the wool is to be reclaimed, come in bales to an Eastern plant from dealers everywhere. Taken from the bales and thrown into this pile, they are passed to rag-picking machines which shred the fabrics as the first step in the reclamation process
