1 Scotch Reed Counts
In this system which is used for cotton and fine linens the counts are based upon the number of splits in 37-in. (the Scotch ell). The count is given in hundreds or hundreds and half-hundreds. Thus a reed with 1,800 splits on 37-in. is termed an eighteen hundred reed and written 1800. If with 1,850 splits it is termed an eighteen-and-a-half hundred and written 1830. This system is also in use in some parts of Ireland, but other districts take 36-in., 38-in. or 40-in. as the basis, instead of 37-in., the 40-in. scale being the most used.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Scotch Reed Counts
