A 1907 article from Posselt's Textile Journal, translated from an Austrian trade periodical, describing how silk warps are printed before weaving to make chiné silk. It covers laying out and moistening the warp, printing and drying on the table, thickening the colors with gum, steaming, washing and rolling up. It also gives gum and color paste preparation and lists of aniline dyes recommended by Cassella, S.C.I. Basel, Berlin Aniline Works, Badische and Kalle, with printing recipes. The scan also carries short pieces on a German process for printing cotton fabrics between drying cylinders, natural versus synthetic indigo, and a Russian machine for printing the fibre tips of napped fabrics.
