First monthly part (May 1900) of Charles G. Petzold's textile-school text book on the construction of weaves, intended for designers, overseers, loom fixers and webdrawers. It opens with a preface, an illustrated abstract of contents, and an introduction on the three branches of the textile industry. It then covers plain weave, warp and filling rep, mixed or seedy rep, and twills and diagonals, including a method of laying out twills on a line plan and many numbered drawdowns from 3 to 16 harnesses. Portrait and pictorial plates (L. J. Knowles, Columbus Sighting America) and advertisements for loom makers and harness makers are included.

Part No. 2 (June 1900) of Charles G. Petzold's serial textbook on the construction of weaves for textile schools, designers, overseers, loom fixers and webdrawers. It finishes the twill section with curved twills, fancy twills and diagonals, and steep twills. It then gives a long treatment of sateens: the step-number rule, a series of sateens from 5 to 25 harness with drafts and drawdowns, 4- and 6-harness sateens, divided step-numbers, and interchanged sateens. Two woven-silk portrait plates (Schiller and William Tell) and Lawrence, Mass. mill-supply advertisements are included.

Part 3 (July 1900) of Charles G. Petzold's serial textbook on the construction of weaves, intended for textile schools, designers, overseers, loom fixers and webdrawers. It covers sateen weaves (including sateens with additional binders), diagonal rep and corkscrew weaves, reps with coarse and fine ribs, reps in broken and undulated lines, reps with increasing and decreasing floats, and chevron, cross and herringbone twills. Most pages are drawdown grids (figures 181-259) with rules for step-numbers and for calculating harness and pick counts. It includes woven portraits of Goethe and Columbus and trade advertisements for Lawrence, Mass. mill suppliers.

Part No. 4 (1900) of Charles G. Petzold's serial textbook on the construction of weaves, intended for textile schools, designers, loom fixers and webdrawers. It covers serpentine twills, cross twills in four directions, braided or interlaced cross twills, cross twills starting at different heights, cross twills in sateen position, and discontinued or broken twills. The text gives rules for calculating harness numbers, twill parts and repeat sizes, and is illustrated with numbered drawdowns (figures 260-308). It includes a woven portrait of Abraham Lincoln and advertisements for Lawrence, Mass. mill suppliers.

Part No. 5 (1901) of Charles G. Petzold's serial textbook on the construction of weaves for textile schools, designers, overseers, loom fixers and webdrawers. It continues the treatment of broken twills with numbered drawdown figures 309-346: broken twills from sateen positions, opposite-running twill parts, and cross-twill spiral forms. It also covers a numerical method of building new designs from a foundation diagonal (e.g. twelve-harness), with tables of numbers and line-by-line analyses, and a diagram of twill angles in cloth with differing ends and picks. A woven portrait of Emperor William I is included, and the issue carries advertisements for Lawrence, Mass. mill suppliers.

Part No. 6 of Charles G. Petzold's serial textbook on the construction of weaves for textile schools, designers, overseers and loom fixers. It covers drafting and the reduced draft, classes of drafts (straight, point or diamond, broken, stepping-up, section, two-division, irregular and mixed), and calculating harness eyes per inch. It also gives a tartan plaid dressing plan and the construction of checkerboard, ray-like and honeycomb weaves from twill, sateen, rep and basket foundations. Most pages carry numbered drawdown figures (about 347 to 450), and the issue includes advertisements for Lawrence, Mass. loom and mill suppliers.

Part 7 (1901) of Charles G. Petzold's serial textbook on weave construction for textile schools, designers, overseers and loom fixers. It covers honeycomb weaves, several methods of building granite weaves (from plain and rep, sateen with added binders, cross twill with lines removed, and broken twill parts), and Mockel's weaves with four changes built on twill and sateen foundations. It closes with a section on how regular and reversed yarn twist affects light and shade in plain, sateen and twill fabrics, illustrated with photographs. Figures 451-624 are drawdown-style grids, and the issue includes advertisements for Lawrence, Mass. mill suppliers.
