A January 1944 Handweaving News article by Nellie S. Johnson on designing original four-harness overshot drafts from a code that assigns the letters of a name or phrase to the four pattern blocks. It defines key draft, pattern effect, threading draft and check draft, and gives three letter codes with worked threadings for the phrases "Johnny Got a Zero" and "Their Either Too Young or Too Old." Treadling sequences are given, with instructions for converting them for sinking-harness and rising-harness looms.
