Two journal pages from the September 1916 installment of Posselt's serialized Dictionary of Textile Terms, covering entries from Easer through Eureka. Entries define fibres (Egyptian, East India and Sea Island cottons, eri silk, esparto, ejow), fabrics, dyes and chemicals, laces and embroideries, measures such as the ell, Highland tartans, and machinery terms. A few entries mention weave structures, including the 3-harness twill, 8-harness twill, five-leaf satin and entering (drawing-in) draft.
