Part VI of a serial in the British journal Engineering (June 12, 1874) on the mechanics of weaving, continuing the description of the hand loom. It covers the batten, reed, fly shuttle (John Kay, 1733) with its pickers and shuttle boxes, shuttle construction and quills, the hand-thrown shuttle, warp tension weights, take-up, temples, winding tools, and small weaver's implements. It closes with plain (tabby) weave shown as a designer's draft and as a headle-and-treadle tie-up, and a note on shedding in plain weaving.
