August 1909 issue (Vol. 5, No. 2) of Posselt's Textile Journal, a monthly trade periodical of the textile industries. It contains weave-design instruction (a 12-harness installment of the Dictionary of Weaves, curved twills, fur cloth weaves, damask table cloth and Jacquard design, fancy worsted suiting specifications), plus articles on the Crompton & Knowles ribbon loom, ring spinning and travelers, cotton finishing and shearing machines, silk ungumming and finishing, wool scouring and drying, knitting, mercerizing, air conditioning, and dye testing. Much of the issue is machinery advertising, mill news, a buyers' index, and a technical-terms dictionary, ending with notes on a chart of weaves from "Textile Designing Simplified."
