Ribbons, Trimmings, Edgings, Etc.
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A single page from Posselt's Textile Journal (March 1912) continuing a series on ribbons, trimmings and edgings. It explains special effects in ribbon weaving and discusses a figured ribbon (Fig. 182) with a rib selvage, twill stripes and a figure on a taffeta ground. It gives the weave repeat (45 warp threads by 20 picks), the 16-harness drawing-in draft and the harness chain, with rules for drafting and for deriving the chain. The page also begins a short piece on recent foreign textile machinery, covering a self-threading shuttle and a stop motion for doubling and twisting frames.
