First installment of a serial article by E. A. Posselt on making Turkish (terry pile) toweling, from Posselt's Textile Journal, July 1916. It explains the two-warp construction (ground and pile), how loops form on one or both faces of the cloth, and gives numbered weave diagrams (Figs. 1-20) with loop formations, warp arrangements, reeding, and standard fabric textures and take-up figures. It begins the section on loom motions, describing the swinging reed mechanism (Figs. 21-22). The scan also includes the start of a separate article on calendering in the finishing of cotton goods.
