Three pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, November 1911, on silk dress goods and fabric design. The opening article analyzes a figured taffeta silk waisting with an extra-warp stripe, giving warp counts, dress, reed, point paper calculation, and harness requirements, followed by an analysis of silk-warp, cotton-filling satin linings (8-leaf satin) with yarn count calculations. A short note on finishing artificial silk follows, and the pages end with the start of a 'Designing and Fabric Structure' installment on pointed twills, with drawdown illustrations and the rule for calculating their repeat.
