A pocket dictionary of weave structures (Bindungen) for shaft looms, compiled by Franz Donat, a teacher at an Austrian technical school. The title page claims 4100 weaves from 2 to 26 shafts, printed in two colors, and the preface says it is an extract from his larger Bindungs-Lexikon of about 12,000 weaves. Nearly all of the book is point-paper drawdowns, two per page, numbered and labeled with repeat ratios such as 8:16 or 12:24:36, and arranged by number of shafts from four-shaft up to twenty-six-shaft weaves. The only text is the title page, a short preface, and a table of contents by shaft count.
