Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
Two pages from Posselt's Textile Journal (June 1914) containing the end of a piece on figured fabric arrangement, an article on analyzing a double cloth weave, a specification for fancy worsted trousering with a silk stripe, and a list of Bradford cloth terms. The double cloth article uses seven numbered diagrams to separate the face weave, back weave and stitching of a 27-thread, 2 face : 1 back double cloth. The trousering entry gives the weave repeat, 17-harness drawing-in draft, warp arrangement, reed, dress and finish. The Bradford list gives warp, filling and weave details for dress fabrics such as Alaska, brilliantine, Sicilian, Lorrain, Granada, Venetian and Florentine.
