Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
A two-page article from Posselt's Textile Journal (February 1915) on building combination weaves that join a regular even-sided twill with its mate basket weave. It explains the construction rule and walks through six figures: three based on 4-harness twill and 2 by 2 basket, and three based on 6-harness twill and 3 by 3 basket. It discusses clear cut-off edges where twill and basket squares meet, repeat sizes, and how fancy drawing-in can reduce the harness count. Large drawdown diagrams accompany the text.
