Sample pages
Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
A two-page article from Posselt's Textile Journal (April 1916) explaining how curved twills are constructed by combining 27, 45, 63, 70 and 75 degree twills over a 45 degree foundation twill. Six examples (Figs. 1-6) give fancy drawing-in drafts, harness chains and repeat sizes on 5-, 6-, 8- and 10-harness twills, including broken curved twills, with a drawdown for Fig. 6. The first page also carries the end of a preceding article on microscopic identification of flax, jute, ramie and hemp fibres and the detection of mercerized cotton. A design for a grass rug from the Waite Grass Carpet Co. of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, appears at the end.
