A two-page installment (No. XXIII) of Alfred Barlow's 'Weaving' series in Engineering, continuing the discussion of pile weaving in power looms. It describes early velvet-weaving methods using wires, including Thompson's 1842 velvet ribbon loom, Collier's multiple-wire plan and Weild's 1855 grooved-cylinder wire inserter. It also covers knife-edged wires for cut pile, double (face-to-face) velvet and plush weaving with cutting knives, and the start of a discussion of chenille weft. Illustrated with small engineering diagrams of wires, cloth sections and mechanisms.
