The concluding part of a two-part historical survey of weaving, published in the engineering journal Engineering in 1874. It covers the drop box, the fly shuttle, Edmund Cartwright's power loom with his own account of inventing it, and Radcliffe's warp dressing machine. It then treats Crawford's doubling patent, the draw loom and draw boy, and the history and introduction of the Jacquard machine in Britain, including the precursors Bouchon, Falcon and Vaucanson. It closes with later improvements to power looms and Jacquard apparatus.
