Installment of E. A. Posselt's serial 'Fabric Analysis' from the October 1916 Posselt's Textile Journal, covering yarn counting systems for cotton, woolen (run and cut), worsted, true silk (denier and dram), spun silk and artificial silk, with worked examples for weights, plied-yarn equivalents, and analysis of union yarns of cotton and worsted, including a chemical caustic-soda test. The issue pages also include John Skinner's short article on a novel woven tire fabric with floating diagonal warp threads, and a brief note on shawl fashion in Russia.
