A single page from The Textile Mercury of 17 January 1891 covering a report on the Kidderminster carpet trade, financial reports for Lancashire cotton spinning companies, and a patents section. The patents section lists published British specifications and gives abstracts of 1889 patents for a loom picking-motion, carding-engine flat grinding, parallel knitting machines, fluted spinning rollers, and a silk-waste combing machine. It includes mechanical diagrams but no weaving drafts.
