Two journal pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, June 1911 (pp. 152-153). The first page concludes a description of the flax spread-board, covering fallers and screws, sliver cans with measuring bell, sliver weight sets, and drawing rollers, followed by the start of the "O" entries of Posselt's dictionary of textile terms. The dictionary entries continue through page 2, running from Oakum to Orris and covering fibers, dyes (orchil, orcein, oleine), fabrics (organdy, Orleans), silk throwing (organzine), and loom terms (open shed loom).
