A French technical course manual from the Lycée Technique in Lyon, by G. Goux, on the technology of weaving plain and figured (patterned) fabrics. The first part covers loom layout, shed formation, beating, weaver's knots, the 104-hook Jacquard mechanism, warp tension brakes, reeds, and a long catalogue of weaving faults. The second part covers figured weaving: Jacquard, Vincenzi and Verdol mechanisms, card punching and weave pointing, tie-ups (empoutage), harness cording (colletage), warp threading exercises, selvedge control, and synchronized and Maltese-cross mechanisms. It is richly illustrated with technical diagrams, tables of hook counts, and handwritten and printed pages.
