Ciba Review No. 16 (December 1938) is a themed issue on the history and development of the loom, with most of the articles by G. Schaefer. They cover the basic principle of shed formation, the looms of ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, the medieval hand-loom and draw-loom, mechanization (Kay's fly-shuttle, Cartwright, Vaucanson, Jacquard), and Asian looms. W. Born contributes a piece on weaving in Japanese art, and a Historical Gleanings section has short items on Turkish looms, John Kay, Edmund Cartwright and the loom of the ancient Hebrews. The issue is illustrated with engravings, vase paintings, reliefs and diagrams of looms, and also carries Ciba dye advertisements and technical notes on dyeing.
