An article from Posselt's Textile Journal (September 1911) explaining how to design and cut Jacquard cards for double plain reversible fabrics, in which two plain-weave single cloths exchange ground and figure after a design. It covers harness-loom weave-plan construction, the two-section and straight-through (single section) Jacquard tie-ups on a 400 machine, fabric analysis, and card stamping with a Royle Repeater and Piano Card Stamper, including 4-harness twill cutting. The scan ends with the start of a separate piece on ribbons, trimmings and edgings (figuring with extra warp and filling systems).
