Two pages from The Textile Mercury of April 9, 1892, with a 'Designing' column for power-loom cloth designers. It gives working details for two cotton dress goods stripes (Designs A and B), including shafts, drafts, pegging plans, reed counts, yarn counts, colour arrangements and weft suggestions. A second article, on twilled checks, explains building checks on end over a sateen base (Designs C, D and E using 8-, 12- and 16-end sateens). The scan also includes the end of a silk article and a piece on printing woollen piece-goods, with dye recipes.
