A four-page installment of the 'Technische Auskünfte' (technical inquiries) column from Melliand's Textilberichte, 1927, listing reader questions Nos. 759-772 and published answers to earlier questions. Questions cover mercerizing, dyeing, fire-sprinkler systems, silk degumming, and weaving acetate rayon. The longest section is a set of seven answers on how to set up five-end satin, atlas and zanella weaves, discussing the step (Steigungszahl/Sprungzahl), twill-line direction relative to yarn twist, and a table of binding sequences for 5 to 17 shafts, with small weave diagrams. Other answers deal with the first shaft of a loom, rayon weft in underpick shuttles, velvet and cord weaving, and warp stress. The issue ends with a finishing recipe for blue mollino and a list of sources sought.
