Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
An installment from Posselt's Textile Journal explaining how to construct diagonal weaves by filling drafting, as a follow-up to a December 1913 article on warp drafting. Using 10-harness regular twills as foundations, it shows how alternating picks from two starting positions of the twill yields four new diagonals, with figures of the drafts and resulting weaves. It then summarizes the 12-harness case, which gives five diagonals per foundation twill. The pages also carry short trade notes on cotton lustre, moth-proofing and wartime export restrictions, plus advertisements.
