Sample pages
Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
Two pages from The Textile Mercury (May 1889) on mill machinery and trade news. The lead article describes James Green's Patent Picker Steeper of Blackburn, which saturates loom pickers (buffalo hide) with oil under 350 lb/sq in pressure instead of slow immersion over months; it is shown in perspective and sectional figures. The second page describes Perkin and Co.'s improved friction gear for reversing winches, and reports the Flax Supply Association's annual meeting in Belfast, covering Irish flax acreage, yarn imports and exports, and seed supply. Short news items include John Bright's will and a cotton spinners' short-time decision.
