An illustrated encyclopedia chapter on the machinery of textile manufacture, from the early history of spinning and weaving through nineteenth-century industrial equipment. It covers cotton ginning, opening, carding and spinning (jenny, mule, spinning-frame), wool and flax preparation, warping, beaming, looms, Jacquard machines, dobbies and carpet looms. It then treats finishing machines (fulling, shearing, pressing, napping), twisting and braiding, knitting frames and sewing-machines, with the history of the main inventors. Roughly 20 engraved plates show the machines in detail, and there are no weaving drafts.
