Beitrag zur Kenntnis der Kreppbindungen [Contribution to the Knowledge of Crepe Weaves]
Beitrag zur Kenntnis der Kreppbindungen [Contribution to the Knowledge of Crepe Weaves]
Article · 1 page · German
First installment of a German-language article on crepe fabrics and the crepe weave structures used to make them. It describes three ways to give a fabric a crepe character: finishing with engraved calenders, using hard-twisted yarns (S and Z twist in warp and weft, or yarns that shrink in finishing such as mercerizing), and weaving with crepe bindings whose scattered floats break up reflected light. It announces that later parts will examine how common crepe bindings are derived and how new ones can be constructed. This page contains no drafts, and the article ends with "Fortsetzung folgt".

Installment of E. Frotscher's article on crepe weaves (Kreppbindungen), covering crepe weaves produced by superimposing one weave on another (patterns 46 to 85). It explains how the combined weaves are built, with particular attention to rib crepe weaves (Ripskreppbindungen) used for piece-dyed women's dress fabrics. It describes 8-, 12- and 16-end repeats, the placement of added binding points on a plain 2-pick rib base, and the 3-pick rib crepe, and notes the advantages over plain rib. The second page has the drawdown grids numbered 46 to 85. The text begins with the end of an unrelated note on a patented Jacquard enlarging device for tapestry.

The concluding part of E. Frotscher's German-language study of crepe weaves (Kreppbindungen), continuing from an earlier page 520. It explains methods for constructing crepe weaves: dividing weaves into groups of threads, interdrawing weaves in ratios such as 1:1, 2:1 and 2:2, adding or removing points on base weaves (plain, twill, satin), filling in divided pattern areas, and drawing free "wild" crepe weaves. The pages carry numbered drawdowns (about 110 to 168), with notes on shaft counts, Jacquard use and balancing float lengths. The scan ends with the start of an unrelated technical note on a patented doubling and press-board inserting machine.
