Four pages of an alphabetical glossary of textile terms from Posselt's Textile Journal, October 1919, running from "Set-over" through "Silk Reeling Frame". Entries cover fibres (wool, silk, cotton, flax), fabrics, silk throwing and reeling, loom parts such as the shed, shuttle and shuttle box, finishing processes, dyes and trade names, with many Japanese, Chinese and European terms. Entries range from one-line definitions to longer notes on shoddy, silk bolting cloth, silk conditioning and Shanghai silk wastes.
