A one-page article by Samuel S. Dale on 'straight line' calculations for woven and finished weights and lengths of cloth, aimed especially at woolen and worsted goods that shrink during finishing. It sets out six related factors (yards and ounces per yard woven and finished, yield in length and in weight) and seven formulas linking them, with a worked cassimere example and further worked problems for shrinkage, weight loss, and finished yardage.
