Two pages from The Textile Mercury (22 and 25 February 1890) covering company registrations, Gazette bankruptcy and partnership notices, lists of patent applications and published specifications, and abstracts of 1888 patents. The abstracts describe textile machinery and processes, including tufted Axminster fabric and loom tappets, loom picking straps, yarn beaming and sizing machines, slubbing frame winding motions, burl-dyeing, gig-mills, knitting gussets and loom let-off and take-up motions. Some abstracts have engineering drawings.
