Installment No. X of a serial on weaving from the periodical Engineering, describing how figured and ornamental cloth was woven on looms without Jacquard or other automatic machines. It classifies the systems of using healds (heddles) and explains satin weaves of five, eight and sixteen leaves, then shows how twills and small figures or spots are made with a few headles. Figures show the warp plan, the section of the shed, and the threading and treadling plan with circles marking raised headles and numbered treadles. It ends by introducing the draw-boy machine, to be covered with the draw loom.
