A 1903 English-language textbook on the construction of weaves for harness looms, translated and adapted by Samuel S. Dale from the work of Ivo Kastanek of the Royal Textile College, Brunn. It classifies weaves as plain, twill and satin and shows how to derive from them ribs, basket weaves, fancy and broken twills, corkscrews, crepes, pin checks, checkerboards, honeycombs, hairlines and combined weaves. Over 500 drawdown drafts and cloth-sample photographs illustrate the text. It also covers drawing-in drafts and color effects by warp and filling color order.
