Two pages from the November 1916 installment of E. A. Posselt's serialized Dictionary of Textile Terms, covering entries from Fibre through Flipes. Definitions deal with fibres (cotton, flax, silk, wool), silk reeling and terminology, wool classing, carding machinery, fabrics such as flannel, flannelette and figured poplin, and lace types such as filet and flat point lace. The entries are short technical definitions from the commercial textile trade of the early twentieth century.
