A 1927 lecture by A. Pradat, a Lyon weaving-reed manufacturer, on the making and types of weaving reeds (peignes à tisser). It covers the history of the reed, warping rakes (rasteaux) and creel and sectional-warp combs, cane and steel dents, and hand and machine mounting. It then surveys special reeds for velvet, gauze, bolting cloth, marquisette, metallic cloth, beaded fabrics, fan and tubular reeds, and moiré-marking reeds, including the author's own improvements. Illustrated with an advertisement, a photograph of a cane reed, and technical drawings of reed structure.
