Three pages from the September 1912 issue of Posselt's Textile Journal. The first part of an article on lappet weaving by Woodhouse and Milne explains how lappet ornament is woven with the ground cloth and describes the lappet loom's pin frame, needle frames, whip rolls and pattern wheels (common and presser types), including pattern wheel size and pick calculations. The scan opens with the end of a warp and yarn quantity calculation for a lappet fabric. It closes with a section on adding weight and bulk to fabric with back filling, with weave drafts 57-67 showing 3 face : 1 back arrangements stitched with satins on rib, basket and granite weaves.
