Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 31 May 1890 (pp. 379-380) covering British patent news for the textile trades. They include a list of duty-free imports, new company and Gazette notices (adjudications, receiving orders, dissolved partnerships), recent patent applications, and abstracts of specifications with small engraved figures. The abstracts cover looms (Axminster/Moquette pile and tufting mechanisms), wool burring, sliver condensing, knitting machines, dyeing, linoleum and thread guides. The scan ends with a patent agent advertisement and a directory of textile machinery makers.
