A 1916 article from Posselt's Textile Journal describing Frank Warner's patented three-pile figured velvet, in which pile loops of three different heights produce shaded floral designs on a Jacquard loom. It explains the pile wires, the hand-cutting trevette knife and power-loom knife wires, and the difference between terry (loop) and cut velvet pile. A shorter second section covers A. Beaumont's patented combined cloth, which binds an inner and an outer fabric of different yarn qualities; it is illustrated with eight weaving plans.
