A short Encyclopedia Britannica (11th ed.) entry on drill, a linen or cotton fabric usually bleached and finished stiff. It explains the name's derivation from German drillich ('three-threaded'), describes the warp-faced three-leaf twill weave with a small figure, and mentions 4- and 5-thread variants. It also covers the fabric's markets and uses in clothing and work garments.
