Three pages from The Textile Mercury of 1 March 1890 (pp. 159-161), mainly the patents column: lists of British patent applications filed 17-22 February 1890, published specifications, and abstracts of 1888 specifications, most of them for looms, shuttles, spinning and doubling frames, and knitting machines. The abstracts have line drawings of loom beat-up, picker-checking, shuttle-threading, shedding and ribbon take-up mechanisms. The pages also carry trade news on the Kidderminster carpet trade, new company registrations, Gazette bankruptcy notices, and a directory of textile machinery makers.
