Three pages from the August 1912 installment of E. A. Posselt's serialized textile dictionary, covering entries from Saggathy through Shadow Silk. Entries define fabrics (sarongs, serge, seersucker, seal-skin), fibres (Sea Island cotton, sea silk, sericin), wool grades and sorting terms, and machinery such as scutchers, self-feeds, and ring-frame separators. Illustrations show a cotton scutcher, scutching knives, a self-feed machine, wool fibre serrations and Draper separators. The last page also begins an unrelated article on covering top rollers in cotton spinning.
