A short technical article by F. Bradbury on the "split" or "scale" Jacquard harness mounting, used for weaving fine figured silks, linens and cottons set much closer in the warp than the filling. It explains, with two labelled diagrams, how spare hooks and binder shafts are connected to bind the ground and figure in eight or sixteen end twill or satin order, and how this increases the figuring capacity of the machine. The second page also carries a separate article by W. Stoll on lustering cotton goods by chemical, mechanical and coating methods.
