Two pages from The Textile Mercury, 23 April 1892, with a 'Designing' column for the power-loom trade. It gives a suggested dress goods design (Design A, repeating on 66 ends and 66 picks, with a satin ground) along with colour and yarn suggestions, and warp-colour sequences for cotton stripes, checks and gingham in plain weave. It also includes part X of 'The Analysis of Pattern', covering the systems for stating setts (Stockport, Bradford, Blackburn, Manchester, Scotch, Leeds), methods of finding the sett of a cloth, and calculation of yarn diameters for setting cloths. Page 1 also carries short book reviews and trade notes.
