After 19 months, he already had 20 looms where 27 workers were employed. By 1856, their skills had progressed and they won the second prize at an industrial fair in Madras. Haller experimented with the sap of a bark of a semecarpus tree and invented a colour. He named this invention a Kannada word.
The invention please?

Measurements?

The X Scale is a measurement scale for Y of Z. The maximum rating of a substance on the X scale may be 16,000,000 units (given to pure W). In the traditional method for determining Y, an alcohol extract of the W oil from a measured amount of Z is added incrementally to a solution of sugar in water until the Y is just detectable by a panel of (usually five) tasters; the degree of dilution gives its measure on the X scale. Modern methods however use sophisticated high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the W content by quantitative analysis. X, Y, Z, W?

X is an autobiographical novel by Y, written in 1929, when Y was 34. "It was my bitter leave-taking of England, where I had recently broken a good-many conventions", he wrote in the prologue to the revised second edition. The title points to the passing of the old order following the cataclysm of the First World War. The rise of atheism, socialism, feminism and pacifism, besides the emergence of new forms of literary expression, as they had to bear on Y's life, are explored in the work. A large part of the book is taken up by his experience of the First World War, and provides a detailed description of trench warfare.

Y later went on to contribute significantly in the study and interpretation of Greek Mythology, and his historical novel, written in the form of the autobiography of a Roman king, later went on to become a bestseller.

Give both X and Y.
