An article from Posselt's Textile Journal (July 1911) on 'false back' weaves, a way to add bulk to single-cloth fabrics using the fabric's own warp rather than a separate back warp. It explains how to build false back weaves from 4-harness twill, basket, 3/3 6-harness twill, 8-harness fancy and figured twills, and 8- and 12-harness granite weaves, in 1 @ 1 and 2 @ 1 face-to-back arrangements. Illustrated with numbered weave drafts (Figs. 1-34) and warp-section diagrams. The last page begins a continued piece on producing figures in smooth ribbons.
