A single page of the Textile Mercury (16 May 1891, p. 350) with the patents column: lists of dissolved partnerships, specifications published in 1890 and 1891, and abstracts of specifications filed in November 1889. Abstracts cover spinning, carding engines, azo dyes, looms (leno, picking spindle, pile carpet), woven bands and driving belts, warping, and fabric pressing and finishing. One abstract (Reiser, No. 18,617) describes combining two small diagonal twill drafts on six and seven shafts to produce a large diagonal pattern on thirteen shafts.
