A 1927 article from Melliand's Textilberichte by Franz Müller on how weave structure and material interact in rayon (Kunstseide) fabrics. It covers rayon warp preparation and sizing, the problems of tight weaves and high warp density, and the use of checkerboard (Damenbrett) Jacquard patterns, especially for neckties, with satin, taffeta and rib weaves. It also discusses warp- and weft-direction effect stripes and their crossing points, illustrated by a pattern figure and a weave drawdown. The scan also includes the end of an article on Jacquard card care and the start of Josef Funke's article on plain weave, which covers shedding on hand and power looms.
