A comprehensive French encyclopedic treatise on fabric manufacture, directed by P. Falcot and published at Elbeuf in 1844. It covers fibres (wool, silk, cotton, linen, hemp), warp preparation, heddles, reeds and threading, fundamental weaves (taffeta, batavia, twill, satin) and derived fabrics, drawing patterns onto point paper (mise en carte), card lacing and punching for Jacquard and armure mechanisms, looms and accessories, and specialized fabrics such as velvet, shawls, tapestry, ribbons and passementerie. It ends with a glossary of technical terms and a large atlas of plates, including many weave-structure (armure) grids, threading diagrams, machine drawings and design grids.
