A 26-page specimen section of the 1929 Melliand "International Survey of Periodicals", made up of short abstracts of articles from textile journals worldwide, mostly from 1926-1927. The abstracts are grouped by subject: raw materials and fibre preparation, spinning and winding, weaving and loom mechanisms, knitting, bleaching, dyeing, printing, finishing, and artificial silk. Each abstract gives the source journal, the author, and a summary of the article.
