Encyclopedia article on weaving from the 14th edition of Brockhaus' Konversations-Lexikon. It defines weaving and gives a short history from hand frame looms through the Jacquard mechanism (c. 1808) to power looms (Cartwright, Horrocks, Roberts). It describes warp preparation (winding, warping, sizing, beaming), fabric types (plain, twill, satin, patterned, velvet, gauze, double cloth), hand and power looms, shuttles, heddles, reed, and the Jacquard mechanism. Two plates of numbered engravings of machinery and looms and a bibliography of contemporary German, English and French textbooks are included.
