Continuation (July 1917) of E. A. Posselt's article on how textiles reflect light, covering pile fabrics such as velvet, how finishing processes (raising, pressing, steaming, crabbing, mercerizing) alter lustre, and how moiré (watered) and gauffré (embossed) effects are produced with fluted and engraved rollers. It includes sketches and photographs of pile reflection, moiré and embossing, and a drawing of a gauffreing calender. The last page begins a short section on how contraction of warp and filling, and loom tension, affect the width and appearance of cloth.
