A one-page column of British patent abstracts on textile machinery from the journal Engineering, 26 October 1900. It summarizes four patents accepted August 29, 1900: a vertical-band wool carding machine, a spring brake device for self-acting spinning mule carriages, a hinged thread carrier for straight bar knitting frames, and a wire mail for Jacquard looms with an eye that closes by intertwined spiral twists.
