A short article by Nellie Sargent Johnson in Handweaving News (December 1942) presenting old drafts of Bronson weave. It begins with pattern No. 25 "Rose and Compass" Diaper from J. & R. Bronson's 1817 "Domestic Manufacturer's Assistant" and explains the book's nomenclature (harnesses as "wings", tie-up as "cording"). It then gives modern tie-ups, threadings and weaving directions for 4-, 5- and 6-harness Bronson weave patterns taken from old linen samples, with notes on warp and weft sizes and setts for fine linens.
