Continuation of a series on selvage construction from Posselt's Textile Journal, November 1918, describing the independent selvage, a selvage built as a structure separate from the fabric, in its own color or material. It explains the loom setup with a plan diagram (Fig. 3) and two weave drafts (Figs. 4 and 5), including a version for a two-filling-system twill fabric. A second, unrelated article abstracts the Silk Association of America's 1918 report on silk's role in World War I, covering labor shortages, the War Industries Board, military uses of silk and wartime fashion fabrics.
