Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
A January 1942 Handweaving News feature by Nellie Sargent Johnson explaining how to turn a name into a four-block overshot pattern using an alphabet code. Letters are assigned to the four pattern blocks, a balanced key draft is written, the pattern effect is drawn down, and a threading draft with check draft is derived. Examples are worked for 'Francis Scott Key' and 'Nellie Sargent Johnson' in three different codes, with tie-up instructions for a four-harness loom and Structo loom.
