Six-page set of engraved plates on ribbon weaving (rubanier) from Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie, prepared as Part V of a weaving plates series by Philippe Demoule. The plates show the ribbon loom (métier à faire le ruban) in plan, front, tabular, side and rear elevations, and in disassembled and developed views, with numbered detail figures of heddles, shuttles, bobbins, gears, cams, pulleys, levers and treadle mechanisms. Only captions and figure numbers appear, with no explanatory text.
