An International Correspondence Schools–style instruction text (two parts, Serials 487A and 487B) on woolen and worsted fancy looms. Part 1 covers the Knowles fancy loom: head-motion, harness chains, box motion and box chains, picking, take-up, brake and selvage motions. Part 2 covers the Crompton fancy loom, including its shedding, chain cylinder, box motion, protector, filling stop-motion, let-off and selvage mechanisms. The text is mechanical, with many line drawings of loom parts and gearing, plus a few pattern and filling drafts.
