Two pages from the September 1911 issue of Posselt's Textile Journal. They contain a continuation of an alphabetical dictionary of textile terms, running from Peruvian cotton through Pilch. Entries cover cotton varieties, loom parts (pick, picker-stick, picking cone, picking tappet), Jacquard card-stamping (piano machine, illustrated with a Royle piano card stamper), dyeing and printing terms (piece-dyed, pigment printing), and spinning terms. The second page also begins James Scott's article comparing flannel and flannelette under the microscope, including their burning behavior, with a photomicrograph of flannel fluff.
