Article describing a combined warp knitting and weaving loom invented by Dr. Edwin Wildt of Leicester (German Patent No. 454,161). The machine alternates weaving and knitting operations to produce a fabric that is less prone to lengthening and excessive stretch than ordinary knitted goods. The text walks through the sequence of weaving a pick, pushing it into the latch needles, and knitting it into a row of loops, with a numbered parts key and a side-section diagram. It also notes that pattern cam wheels, multiple heddles or a jacquard device can be used for patterned fabrics.
