An atlas of 59 numbered plates (Taf. 1-59, Figs. 1-719) illustrating Schams' Handbuch der Weberei. It opens with plates of animal and plant fibres (sheep, goats, silkworm, cotton, flax, hemp, jute) shown with magnified fibres, then moves to hand looms, warping and preparation tools, and many plates of weave drafts (twill and related patterns, figured weaves, gauze and Dreher lace patterns, 7- and 8-shaft weaves). The later plates show Jacquard and dobby mechanisms, power looms from makers such as Lancaster (Accrington) and Engel (Chemnitz), warp-sizing machines, shuttles, brakes, shed and box motions, and weave-pattern cards. Only figure numbers and a few captions are printed; the explanatory text is in a separate volume.

A German-language handbook on warp sizing (Schlichterei) published in Leipzig in 1908 and edited by J. Schams, director of the Royal Weaving School in Münchberg. It covers sizing methods, size materials (starch, glue, additives), size-cooking apparatus, hand sizing, and mechanical sizing of yarn in skeins and of warps in sheet form. The machine chapters describe skein sizing, cylinder (Sizing) machines, Scottish brush machines, air-drying machines and carpet-warp machines from makers such as Haubold, Howard & Bullough, Sucker and Prüfer. A closing section gives sizing preparations and recipes for cotton, wool, linen and worsted warps, and publisher and machinery advertisements follow. It has about 130 text figures of machines and apparatus but no weaving drafts.

A comprehensive German textbook on weaving technology, fourth enlarged edition (Leipzig, 1909), edited by J. Schams with Otto Both and Bernhard Lepperhoff. It covers textile fibres and yarn preparation and numbering, hand-loom tools, dobby and Jacquard machines, weave theory, and special fabrics such as double cloth, pique, terry, plush and gauze. It also treats copying and analysing fabrics, Jacquard design and card cutting, power-loom preparatory machinery, sizing, power looms, finishing, weave-history sections, ribbon weaving and braiding, with manufacturers' advertisements at the end. The text refers to an accompanying atlas of 1724 figures, and the scan shows many figure pages and some draft pages.

Atlas volume of plates (Tafeln 2-141, Figs. 17-1677) accompanying J. Schams' Handbuch der Weberei. It consists almost entirely of figures: fibre plants and fibres, preparatory machines (warping, sizing, winding), looms and loom parts, shedding mechanisms (dobby, Jacquard), shuttle and box motions, and many weave drawdowns and patterns. Text is limited to plate and figure numbers, a few labels (e.g. Schaft, Schuss, Poilfaden, Würfel) and machine-maker names. Plate 1 is noted as missing, and the plates are reduced to 80%.
