Part XII of Alfred Barlow's series "Weaving" in Engineering, covering hand-loom damask weaving on the draw loom. It explains the two-harness system, in which a pattern harness forms the large outline and a ground harness works the detail intersections, here a five-leaf twill. It describes the leashes, comber board, pulley box, tail cords, simple cords, lingoes and mails, with a page of engineering diagrams (Figs. 112-120). It also gives a brief account of the origin of damask weaving and its supposed introduction to England in 1567.
