A 1916 technical treatise by Roberts Beaumont on the structure, analysis and manufacture of standard woollen and worsted cloths, including Government, military and naval fabrics. It opens with microscopic study of fabric structure and defects, then covers fabric quality, Cheviot and Saxony contrasts, and standard specifications and tests. Later chapters cover weave types, light fabrics and flannels, medium and heavy suitings, worsteds, double and compound cloths, overcoatings, Army and Navy cloths, tartans and felt manufacture. It gives many worked examples with yarn counts, reed and pick settings, finishing routines and weights per yard, with photographs, weave plans and colour schemes. It ends with an index and trade advertisements.
