Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 12 April 1890 with a "Designing" column for power-loom manufacturers. It gives Designs 70-74, small twills on 16 shafts, and a full pegging plan and warping draft for an African (Niger) stripe cloth on 8 shafts, with reed, count, picks and colour details. It also covers a corded cloth on 12 shafts, Design 75, a six-end twill used with colour effects with warp and weft colourings, and Figure 16, a leaf motif on point paper for figured cashmere or silk dress goods. The first page also carries unrelated text on labour conference recommendations and the German woollen industry.
