A five-page Spanish encyclopedia article on weaving (tejido) covering the principles and mechanical processes of cloth production. It explains warp and weft interlacement, the loom with two heddles and treadles, bobbin winding, warping by hand and machine, warp sizing, weft preparation, and drafting and tie-up of heddles. It then describes the basic weave structures (plain, twill, satin), pile fabrics such as velvet and corduroy, gauze, and figured weaving with the Jacquard system. Numbered engraved figures and diagrams illustrate machines and weave drafts.
