Part V of a serial on silk manufacture in The Manufacturer and Builder, May 1892. It covers the steps after reeling: winding skeins onto spools, cleaning, doubling, and spinning (twisting) on the flyer machine, followed by warping. It then gives a short history of spinning and power-loom inventions (Hargreaves, Crompton, Kay, Cartwright) and explains the Jacquard attachment and the silk power loom with diagrams.
