X-ray orientation profiles were recorded that pertained to the three equatorial planes from cotton fibers containing both cellulose I and II lattices and from viscose fibers. The changes in orientation brought about by swelling and stretching treatments could be accurately followed by studying the distribution of any one of the diffraction arcs.
