An account is given of an investigation in which a small needle board was fitted to the compression cage of an Instron Tensile Tester and used to measure the forces developed during the penetration of a web by needles. The punching speeds were much lower than those in a needling machine. The effects of web weight, type of fibre, fibre length and fineness, density, a reinforcing base fabric, and punching speed were studied.
