Volume XVI of the Schlomann-Oldenbourg Illustrated Technical Dictionaries, covering weaving and woven fabrics in six languages (English, German, Russian, French, Italian, Spanish). Entries are numbered terms arranged by subject in parallel columns, with over 1300 line illustrations of looms, shedding and picking mechanisms, shuttles, reeds, Jacquard machines and lace and net machines. The sections run from yarns and winding, warping, sizing and beaming, through shedding, picking, beating-up, hand and power looms, card cutting, fabric classification, weave determination and weaving calculations. Each language has its own alphabetical index that refers to page and line numbers.
