Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A January 1898 article from the Indian Textile Journal by its Bradford correspondent on making woollen serges, aimed at Indian manufacturers. It gives layouts for a 12-oz. summer suiting (four-end twill) and an 18-oz. suiting (six-end twill), with yarn counts, reed, picks per inch, and finishing advice such as dressing, carbonizing, scouring, gigging and shearing. It also covers cotton-warp and worsted serges, with two additional fancy twill draft grids. The page ends with an unrelated news item on a trade mark dispute over the word "Pirle".
