Article by Osma Couch Gallinger that classifies the overshot patterns in Mary Meigs Atwater's Shuttlecraft Book into Series I-VI (Diamond and Cross, Star and Rose, Wheel, Radiating, Patch, Miscellaneous). It explains the basic motifs (Cross, Diamond, Star, Rose, Wheel, Table) and how they combine, using block notation such as 1&2, 2&3, with skeleton diagrams on check paper of sample patterns for each series. The last page has an unrelated fragment on weaving color-block borders with pattern-shot sequences.
