A two-page installment (No. V) of a serial on weaving from the journal Engineering, describing hand-loom weaving for plain cloth. It covers placing the warp beam in the loom, the lease rods and cross, twisting in a new warp to an old one, and the parts of a common four-post hand loom. It also explains healds (heddles) with loops or mails, treadles, pulleys, and the reed, including the old method of cleaving reed strips. Illustrated with engravings of the loom and its components (Figs. 19-26).
