Two pages from the August 1915 issue of Posselt's Textile Journal, continuing a series on fabric analysis. They explain how to find the texture (warp threads and picks per inch) of a finished fabric sample, either by counting the fringe against a one-inch compass span or by calculating from the pattern repeat. A worked example uses a fancy cotton dress goods sample (Figs. 13 and 14) and ends with the warp and filling calculations. The pages also include a short note on a patented soap and metallic-salt waterproofing process, and the start of a passage on yarn diameters and Ashenhurst's formula.
