An article from The Melliand Textile Monthly on how the number of warp ends per dent in the reed changes the look of woven cloth. Funke examines plain weave, 3-harness twill, balanced and fancy twills, and satins reeded at 1, 2, 3 and 4 ends per dent. He uses drawdown diagrams to show where filling floats are lengthened or shortened and where diagonals, lengthwise rows or cross ribs appear. He concludes that the reeding should not put more ends per dent than a filling float covers, and that the usual rule of matching ends per dent to the weave repeat holds only relatively. The article is continued in a later part.
