A 1959 monograph by Henry A. Hoffman presenting a method of developing weaving drafts (draw-downs) on cross-section paper using templets, or miniature harnesses, in place of laborious symbol-by-symbol drawing. It explains the layout, how treadling sequences are listed (including the 'as drawn in' rule for overshot), and how templets are made and used. Nine plates give worked examples in twill, overshot, dornik herringbone twill, summer and winter, crackle, Bronson weave, Ms and Os, and an original miniature overshot, 'Kansas Centennial'.
