Two pages from The Textile Mercury, 24 May 1890, reproducing examination questions set by the City and Guilds of London Institute. The first group covers Cloth Manufacture (wool and worsted weaving), Ordinary and Honours grades. It asks about drafts, pegging plans, tappets, dobbies and Jacquards, satins and twills, double cloth, gauze, yarn counts and cost calculations. The second group covers Linen Manufacture (flax spinning): flax cultivation, retting, scutching, hackling, carding and spinning. Some figures and point-paper design grids accompany the weaving questions.
