The Cotton Spinning Industry Act 1936 (26 Geo. 5 & 1 Edw. 8. c. 21) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which introduced a compulsory levy on cotton machinery. The proceeds from this levy were used to scrap surplus spindles.Modern Britain: An Economic and Social History by John Irwin, p61
