Two questions-and-answers items from the trade journal Textiles. The first explains how to calculate change gears and picks per inch on a plain loom's take-up motion, using a constant of picks per tooth of the change gear. The second describes the 'straight line' method of analyzing a cloth sample: a 1/300th square yard die, thread counting, weight per yard, yarn number conversions, and boiling out with caustic to find the cotton/wool percentage. It gives formulas (a) to (u) and a worked example for a mixed woolen cloth.
