Continuation of E. A. Posselt's article on lappet weaving, covering how lappet wheels are dimensioned and laid out. It works through a 3-frame example pattern (key stripe and spot effect) repeating on 33 splits and 26 picks, calculating wheel radius, groove spacing and peck travel. It also explains how lappet patterns are marked on design paper and how the full wheel is drawn. The first page also carries the end of a piece on Diagonal weaves and grading effects.
