A 1922 article from Posselt's Textile Journal describing methods of producing moiré (watered) effects on silk fabrics. It covers engraved heated rollers, face-to-face stitched fabrics pressed in a roller mangle, decatizing with a coarse lining, loom-made moiré using Jacquard compound harnesses or movable reeds, and tension rollers. It also explains how to avoid or remove unwanted moiré in damask and satin-figured cloth. A short second item on degreasing fibrous materials such as cotton waste without volatile solvents follows on page 2.
