Part 1 of a series from Posselt's Textile Journal (October 1907) on shearing woolen and worsted cloth in the finishing department. It covers the purpose of shearing (leveling the nap for clear-face, velvet, or face finishes), preparing goods by back-burling, and the skills needed by the shear-tender. It also describes the construction of single and double shears, using the Parks & Woolson and P. & W. models and two line diagrams, and gives practical setup advice on leveling, the raising brush, flocks, and passing seams. The article ends with "To be continued".
