Two pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, September 1917, mainly an article on designing figured cotton zephyr fabrics: figuring with the warp on a plain ground, woven on dobby looms with fancy draws. Four weaves are explained (42- and 80-thread repeats, 12- and 16-harness drafts), including diagonal and entwining twill effects, diamond reversals, and the use of a 400 jacquard machine for sample production. The scan also includes the continuation of H. Barlow's article on terry pile fabrics, covering temples and loom measurements of cloth width versus reed width.
