Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
Two journal pages from a continuing series in Posselt's Textile Journal (July 1915) on how broken twills are designed. They cover unbalanced broken twills, where each twill direction needs its own set of harnesses, and breaks carried out both warp and filling ways. Worked examples (Figs. 23-29) use 6-, 8-, 10- and 12-harness foundation twills, with repeat sizes, drafting sequences and drawing-in drafts for up to 20 harnesses. The pages also carry advertisements from textile suppliers.
