Three pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, April 1911, continuing a series on ribbons, trimmings and edgings. The section on producing figures in smooth ribbons explains how to transfer a sketch to point paper, how to choose point paper rulings (e.g. 8 x 5, 12 x 8) to match the warp-to-pick texture, and works through an extra-warp figured ribbon with a sketch, point-paper design and interlacing analysis (Figs. 164-166). The pages also include a 'Novelties from Abroad' section with loom specifications (warp, reed, filling, finish) for woolen and worsted dress goods, suiting and cloaking with weave drafts, and a short piece on silk weaving in Szechuan Province, China.
