Part 6 of Ralph Griswold's Code Drafting series applies code drafting, which turns a text string into a sequence of shaft numbers, to point twills instead of overshot. Code-sequence values are treated as inflection points joined by straight-draw runs in the threading, and values that continue an ascending or descending run are absorbed. The article gives an 8-shaft balanced code table for uppercase letters and works through the example 'HERE WE GO ROUND THE MULBERRY BUSH'. It ends with a drawdown of that example, threaded and treadled with the point-twill sequence, reflected, with a 2/2 twill tie-up.
