Two journal pages from Posselt's Textile Journal, October 1912, containing a section on Diagonals (steep twills) and a continuation of a series on lappet weaving. The Diagonals text explains how steep twills of 63, 70, 75 and 80 degrees are derived from regular twills by warp or filling drafting, with five numbered examples and a drawdown for a 16-harness diagonal. The lappet section covers lappet wheel dimensions, tooth and groove calculations, and a 3-frame specimen with a key stripe and spot figuring. The first page also opens with the end of a piece on warp take-up and two-beam work.
