Continuation of E. A. Posselt's article on fabric structure from Posselt's Textile Journal, June 1918. It discusses how yarn twist (amount and direction) affects the strength, handle, and appearance of woven cloth, using six diagrams to explain open-band and cross-band twist and how twist direction interacts with twill line direction. It also summarizes a theory of cloth structure and the reasons manufacturers depart from it (utility, appearance, cost). The scan begins with the end of an unrelated piece on soap and water in silk mills and ends with the start of an article on the dyestuff situation.
