An encyclopedia article from Rees's Cyclopedia explaining draught (the order of drawing warp threads through heddles) and cording (tying leaves to treddles) for looms. It describes how plans are drawn and read, then works through ten figures: five- and eight-leaf tweel and broken tweel, striped dimity, dornock, fancy dimity, diaper mounting, and similar and dissimilar spots. The last page is Plate XII, with the draught and cording diagrams for these figures.
