A 1954 article from Master Weaver explaining how colour patterns behave in handwoven corduroy (cut-pile weft) after the pile is cut. It covers pile floats made of two half-floats, all-over-spot drafts for blocks of black and white pile on four shafts, treadling sequences with dimensions, stripes and checks, and the difficulty of using three or four colours on overshot-style drafts. It also mentions combining corduroy with locked wefts, and ends with a short note on the terms "lifting plan" and "peg plan" for looms without tie-ups.
