A 1929 article from The Melliand arguing that new automatic looms can protect profit margins for weaving mills in a depressed, price-competitive market. It compares the Crompton & Knowles Cotton King automatic dobby loom with the older automatic dobby dress goods loom on a cotton and rayon dress fabric, using four months of mill data. Tables give production, seconds, waste, weaver operations, looms per weaver and cost per yard, and conclude with an 8% total cost saving and a 21% return on the investment.
