A second-edition (1907) technical treatise by James Bailey of the Keighley Municipal Technical Institute, written for mill loom tuners. Nine chapters cover shedding, picking, beating-up, warp protectors, shuttle changing motions (revolving, skip and rising boxes), weft stop motions, let-off and take-up motions, selvages, and driving the loom. It explains the principles behind timing and setting each loom motion, diagnoses common faults such as stitching, harsh picking and wrong patterns, and is illustrated with mechanism diagrams. Loom makers' advertisements follow the text.
