Nineteenth installment of a serial on weaving in the engineering journal Engineering, dated 19 March 1875, describing tissue weaving for figured silks on a Jacquard loom. It explains how a separate figure shuttle floats weft on the cloth surface, bound only at intervals, and compares full-width shuttles with small shuttles used only where spots occur, which saves silk. The second half details swivel shuttles mounted in a frame on the batten, including the slide-and-peg mechanism, the swivel's construction, bobbin tension pressers and horsehair loops. Illustrated with numbered engineering figures (Figs. 163-176) and no weaving drafts.
