Three pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, September 1917. The issue opens with the end of an article on terry loom motions (a reed-frame motion with cam and notched lever for a 3-pick terry), then continues the series on fabric analysis with a section on dissecting woolens and worsteds. That section covers loss in weight during scouring and finishing, shrinkage from loom to grey cloth, the effects of scouring, fulling, tentering and raising, and typical reed widths for finished fabrics such as worsteds, serges, cheviots, meltons, beavers and union fabrics. The last page begins G. A. Haley's article on dyeing and finishing in China, covering its fibers, primitive dye-houses and indigo vats.
