Article from Posselt's Textile Journal (January 1908) explaining how to design figured fabrics on the double plain (reversible) principle for harness and Jacquard looms. It works through a polka-dot sketch on point paper, a color-scheme diagram, and a 36x36 weave repeat with a 20-harness fancy draw, then gives a simple stripe example. The scan also begins the continuation of E. P. Woodward's treatise on the Knowles fancy worsted loom, covering belting and gearing.
