A two-page Polish encyclopedia entry on weaving (tkactwo), describing the construction and operation of the hand loom, including warp beam, reed, heddles, treadles and shuttle, and the later mechanical power loom. It also covers patterned fabrics, the Jacquard machine, basse-lisse and haute-lisse tapestry weaving, and Szczepanik's photographic method of preparing patterns. It ends with a short history from antiquity to Vaucanson, Cartwright and Jacquard, and a bibliography of mostly German works.
