A facsimile of James Holmes's manuscript-style first-year course notes on cotton weaving, published by Lupton Bros. of Burnley in 1912. It combines handwritten text and hand-drawn figures covering fabric structure and loom mechanics, with numbered exercises where students complete designs, looming and peg plans. Design topics include twills, spots, honeycombs, diamonds, crepes, Bedford cords, piques, extra warp and weft figuring, and shirting stripes. The mechanical sections cover shedding, tappet construction and driving, dobbies, the plain loom, picking motions, take-up, temples and the weft fork.
