A short 1941 article in which Bertha C. Johnston describes how one weaver can beam a warp alone. She ties the chained warp sections with cord at the ends, the cross and intervals along the length, then threads the heddles and sleys the reed before beaming. To hold tension while turning the warp beam, she ties the warp to the top bar of a weighted chair. Four line illustrations (A-D) show the ties and the chair arrangement.
