A short 1939 article by Rupert Peters describing a method of keeping weaving samples on large punched sheets (10" x 13") bound into a book, with each sample stapled to one side and its threading draft, tie-up, treadling and other data on the other. He explains the origins of the idea (a Danish sample book and Berea College's sample book), how samples are prepared and mounted, and how the sheets are used in teaching. A Penland School of Handicrafts draft sheet for a 4-harness Swansdown pattern and a photograph of a mounted runner corner illustrate the method.
