Two pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, November 1913, explaining the three-section straight-through tie-up of a Jacquard harness. It describes a 900-hook machine tied to the comber-board in the English system, how neck-cords and leashes are divided into sections, how the cords are leased, and how card stamping assigns each section to a warp set (three figure threads, or two figure threads and a binder). Two diagrams illustrate the harness and lease-rod threading. A short item on the depressed Scotch tweed industry and the effect of the American tariff follows.
