L. L. Winans describes weaving "point" patterns on an 18-harness loom (16 pattern harnesses plus 2 selvage) operated by a Jacquard-type card mechanism he built himself. Using one threading, a white warp and a colored weft, he varies twill-based patterns by running punched cards forward and backward. The article explains how the cards are punched and used, shows a card-cutting diagram, and has photographs of the mechanism, draperies, slip covers and twill samples. Blueprints of an improved machine for up to 26 harnesses were offered by the author.
