Three pages from The Textile Mercury, May 11, 1889, in the 'Machinery and Appliances' section. They describe W. Hurst's chaining machine of Rochdale, which links warps into chains for bleaching and dyeing, and Joseph Stubbs's improved yarn bundling press of Manchester. They also cover the Patent Darning Weaver by Edwards and Barnes of Birmingham, and an improved shuttle tip. The pages include engravings of each device and the start of a 'News in Brief' column from Lancashire mill towns.
