Two pages from the February 1912 issue of Posselt's Textile Journal, continuing a dictionary of textile industry terms through entries from 'Red Peruvian Cotton' to 'Rib'. Entries cover fibres (red silk cotton, regenerated wool, shoddy, mungo, extract), loom parts (reed, reed-hook, revolving shuttle box), fabrics (rep, rhadame, reversible cloth), lace terms (Renaissance lace, reseau), and finishing and dyeing terms (reserve, retting). Illustrations show shoddy, mungo, a Royle card repeater and a Curtis & Marble revolver. The first page also carries the end of an article on care of spinning frames and a short note on cotton growing in Argentina.
