Part I covers setting up and adjusting the Crompton loom (belt, picking motion, box motion, shuttle swells, filling chain, harness motion, putting in the warp, shuttle and temple troubles). Part II covers the Knowles open-shed fancy loom, including chain building, box operation, chain drafts, hanging harnesses and the pinions. Part III covers cam-loom weaving (cam drafting for doeskins, satinet and beaver cloth, yarn calculations), spreading the warp threads, and advice on managing a weaving room, followed by advertisements.
