A short patent abstract from Engineering, July 6, 1900, describing G. R. Shevill's invention (No. 9100, Brooklyn, U.S.A.) for making fabric that imitates fur or down-bearing skins. Loose fur or down is fed from a hopper to the point on an ordinary loom where weft meets warp, so the fibres are caught between the threads. The text notes a knitting-machine application without drawings, and the use of shrinkable thread in the backing, which is wetted to grip the fur. One line drawing of the loom mechanism is included.
