Two pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, October 1917. The main item explains the drop reverse (turn-over) base for Jacquard design repeats, which breaks up the diagonal lines produced by an ordinary drop base, and describes how to plan such designs with tracing paper and two diamond spaces. Four figures illustrate the arrangements, with Fig. 4 a fancy-figured velvet design. The pages also carry the end of an article on silk throwing, covering defects in thrown silk and other silk types, and a short note on the Lyon silk-conditioning house testing tariffs.
