An article from Posselt's Textile Journal explaining how new weaves can be derived from a single 16-harness regular twill by rearranging its warp threads or picks. It gives thirteen numbered weave diagrams with drafting orders based on satin counters, double satin draws, transposed satins, and sets of threads, along with cross-type drawing-in drafts. The scan ends with the opening of an unrelated piece on increasing the figuring capacity of Jacquard machines by W. Watson.
