A technical textbook on power-loom weaving of jute and linen, in its second edition (1914), by two Scottish technical-college instructors. It covers yarn counts, reeling and bundling, warp and weft winding, warping, beaming and sizing (including sizing chemicals), drawing-in and reeding, and the loom motions: shedding by tappet, dobby and jacquard, picking, beating up, let-off, take-up, box motions, auxiliary motions, terry towel motions, automatic weft supply and selvages. It is heavily illustrated with mechanical drawings of machinery by makers such as Lupton and Place and Anderston Foundry, and includes calculations for pinions and shotting plus a few pegging and draft diagrams.
