A comprehensive handbook of weave construction for power-loom and harness weaving, by the director of the Weaving School at Werdau, translated and revised by Samuel S. Dale, with about 1,875 illustrations. It covers drawing-in drafts and drafting weaves, then the plain, twill, satin, rib, basket, honeycomb, lace (mock leno), crepe, reform, back warp and back filling, double and multi-ply, stitched, combination and transposed weaves. Later sections deal with color effects in warp and filling and a supplement on the analysis of weaves and fabrics, including the 'straight line' method of cloth analysis. Most pages carry drawdown grids with figure numbers and repeat sizes.
