Installment of Posselt's "Chronological Textile Events" from the November 1912 issue, covering 1816. It describes in detail Ira Draper's 1816 loom and his patented star wheel temple, including the warp lease and broken-thread detector, the sizing rollers, the brush and the shuttle box arrangements. It then lists other 1816 textile events, such as power loom and loom reed patents, British lace and knitting inventions, and Jefferson's statement on domestic manufactures. Illustrated with a portrait of Draper and engravings of the loom and temple.
