Two pages of the patents column from The Textile Mercury, 15 February 1890, listing British patent applications filed 31 January to 8 February 1890, specifications published, and one amended specification. Most of the space goes to abstracts of 1888 specifications on dyeing, looms, jacquard card lacing and punching machines, spinning and doubling, fibre treatment, and carpets. Illustrations show a doubling, twisting and skeining machine, a rope-end bracket, a jacquard card lacing machine, and a loom brake lever.
