A short 1929 article from The Melliand describing a novel raising (gigging) machine from Ernst Gessner A.-G., Aue, Saxony, which produces longitudinal and wavy striped raised effects on fabric without stencils. Differently fluted raising rollers are positioned in pairs to vary stripe width and pattern. The text covers cloth speed control, tension bars, guide rollers, cutting appliances, handling of multiple widths, use for felting, and combination with printed stripes or a pre-raised ground.
