Two pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, December 1915, on constructing fancy effect diagonal weaves. The article gives rules for building them on a 63-degree steep twill foundation, with fancy effects inserted into the sinkers or risers, and explains four weave drafts (Figs. 1-4) on 24 or 16 harnesses and 48 picks. It opens with the end of a color-mixing table for three-ply plain weave and card cutting. Page 2 also carries a short report on artificial silk (Chardonnet vs. viscose strength and shrinkage tests) and a note on a patent for a saline viscose solution.
