Two pages from the March 1916 installment of E. A. Posselt's serialized Dictionary of Textile Terms in Posselt's Textile Journal, covering entries from Cottonade through Cracked Ends. Entries deal with cotton fabrics, cotton processing machinery (gin, opener, scutcher), cotton plant diseases and pests, and fabrics such as covert cloth, coutil and counterpane. The long entry on Count explains yarn numbering systems for cotton, worsted, woolen, linen, spun silk and raw silk. Short entries also define the cotton weave (plain weave), covert weave and several wool and finishing terms.
