Installment of E. A. Posselt's serial dictionary of textile terms, covering entries from "Rib" through "Ryeland Sheep". Entries define weaves, spinning and finishing machinery, laces and embroideries, fabrics, cotton and wool varieties, sheep breeds, dye plants, and cotton diseases. The scan also includes a short essay, "Weavers Should Study Their Work," which advises power-loom weavers and loom fixers on broken picks, warp breaks, cross drafting, shed timing, and picker setting.
