Two pages from The Textile Mercury, April 30, 1892, combining a 'Designing' column with part XI of the series 'The Analysis of Pattern'. The design column gives two new designs for vestings (Design A with a 7-shaft satin ground, Design B on 6 shafts with an 18-end draft and pegging plan) with colour and sett details for a plaid, plus a four-shaft matting shirting pattern. The analysis section, on the setting of cloths, explains how weave affects warp and weft bending and gives rules and worked examples for calculating ends per inch, including twills, plain weave and a French cashmere.
