A one-page report from the journal Engineering (21 September 1900) on a paper by Professor R. Beaumont about applying photography to textile design. It describes Jan Szczepanik's photographic apparatus for enlarging a sketch and automatically marking weave units on point paper, using a lantern, a perforated raster plate, weave plates and selecting plates. It also summarizes the comments of Mr. Barker of the Bradford Technical School, who favored simpler processes.
