Continuation of E. A. Posselt's article on constructing skip twills, covering skip twills built on unbalanced (not balanced) even-sided foundation twills. It explains Figs. 17 and 18, with 12-harness and 6-harness foundation twills, the drafting alternating groups of ends, and the double-draw drawing-in draft on 12 harnesses. A section explains how to calculate the repeat of a skip twill, with a worked example giving 54 warp threads and 54 picks. The second page has short items on improvements to shuttles and loom pickers and a note on a new Egyptian cotton variety.
