An encyclopedia article defining weaving and outlining its basic loom movements (shedding, picking, beating up). It surveys the origins of the art in China, Egypt, India and the Bible, the westward spread of textile manufacture to Flanders, England and America, and the development of the fly-shuttle, power loom, ribbon loom and Jacquard machine. It also covers power-loom stop-motions and shuttle protectors, pile weaving, and brief notes on gauze, terry, glass-cloth, hair-cloth and wire-cloth weaving.
