Three journal pages from the July 1919 installment of E. A. Posselt's serialized Dictionary of Textile Terms, covering entries from Quadrant through Rhodomelina. Entries define fibres, dyes, fabrics, laces, loom and spinning machinery parts, and finishing processes. Longer entries cover quilts (Alhambra, Broché, Marseilles, Toilet and others), reed and reed calculation, regain (standard moisture percentages), regenerated wool (shoddy, mungo, extract), rep, and retting. A short unrelated item on fall silks follows at the end.
