A fourth-edition textbook on the construction and design of woven fabrics for industrial textile manufacture. It covers foundation weaves (plain, twill, satin), drawing-in drafts, and a long series of derivative weaves: rib, basket, steep and curved twills, granite, honeycomb and imitation gauze. Later sections treat fabrics with extra warp or filling, lappet and tricot weaves, double and multi-ply cloth, pile fabrics (velvet, plush, chenille, carpets), Jacquard harness and card cutting, and gauze weaving. Appendices include fibre testing, yarn counting and silk-size tables, and metric conversion tables. The book is heavily illustrated with drawdown grids and machine diagrams, and has advertisements for loom and machinery makers at front and back.
