Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 27 February 1892 on textile design. The first part explains how to distribute spot figures in a repeat: the simple drop system (Designs 11 and 12), the 4-end sateen arrangement (Design 13), 5-, 7- and 8-end sateen placement, and how to handle reversed figures. The second part gives an original dobby design for a reversible cotton vesting cloth with two differently coloured faces, with a draft, pegging plan and drawdown. It specifies 64 picks, 15 shafts and a 96-end draft, along with suggested yarn counts, sett and colour combinations.
