Volume 2 of Posselt's Hand Books of the Textile Industry, a technical treatise on designing and manufacturing narrow woven fabrics such as ribbons, elastic webbing, galloons, and lamp wicks. It covers yarns and yarn counts, foundation and derivative weaves, selvages, tubular and double cloth, pile, gauze/leno and open-work ribbons, figured ribbons, color effects, fringes and pearl edges. The later part describes ribbon and narrow-ware looms and their mechanisms (shuttles, lays, take-ups, let-offs), and the book ends with publisher and equipment advertisements. About 74 pages carry weave drafts and diagrams.
