Eight pages of engraved plates from Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie, gathered as Part IX (miscellaneous) of a set of weaving plates. The plates cover silk manufacture (soierie): calendering machines and their furnace, chining (warp-dyeing) of fabric warps, lace and ribbon-making looms, and the heddle-cord and loop (maille) techniques used in silk weaving. The plates are mostly machinery and technique illustrations with lettered reference marks and scale bars. They contain no weaving drafts.
