A practical manual for cotton-mill loom fixers by John Reynolds, instructor at the New Bedford Textile School. It covers adjusting and timing the mechanisms of plain, dobby, leno, box and automatic looms: shedding cams, picking, beating-up, let-off and take-up motions, filling and warp stop motions, temples, dobbies, leno doups, box motions, the Northrop and Stafford looms, and the jacquard machine. It is illustrated with many line drawings of loom parts and includes a few dobby chain drafts. Trade advertisements appear at the back.

A two-page installment of John Reynolds's series on practical loom fixing, covering how to line up and time 2-and-1 and 4-and-1 drop-box motions on cotton looms. It also covers adjusting the release motion, fitting pickers and the picker spindle, and avoiding skip boxes on gingham looms, with figures of a 4 and 1 box gingham loom and its box lifting mechanism. Page 2 also carries Samuel S. Dale's "Straight Line" Textile Calculations on sizing rubber thread, and a short note on an acid transport tank.

A page from a 1915 series in the trade journal Textiles, by John Reynolds, on repairing and adjusting cotton looms. It explains the still box-motion, which stops the drop boxes from changing when the filling breaks or runs out. It covers how to check that the brake is working and describes each part of the mechanism (lifting finger, stop plate, push arm, levers, release yoke, springs and double cam), illustrated with line drawings. The scan also carries the end of an unrelated article on tariffs and the American dyestuff industry.

A two-page installment of a series on loom fixing, describing the multiplier motion used on gingham box looms. It explains how interchangeable cams let one bar of the pattern chain serve for 8, 12 or 24 picks, and how chain bars are built to operate the shuttle boxes. It also covers the parts of the mechanism (pawls, sprockets, tipping lever, pawl lifter) and begins the procedure for setting the pattern cylinder.

A single-page excerpt from a serial article on adjusting cotton looms, covering the timing of the still box motion with its double cam J, the pattern chain cylinder and the filling stop motion, and a short section on the 6 and 1 box motion. It is illustrated with a mechanical diagram of the 6 and 1 box motion. The page also carries the end of a separate article, "The Construction of Weaves," with two color-pattern grids (Figs. 550e and 550f) showing a 4-color warp pattern and 3-color filling pattern.

Part of a serial trade article on adjusting and repairing cotton looms with multiple-box (drop-box) motions. This installment covers lining up the 4-and-1 box motion, including the eccentric, box crank, adjuster and box lever, along with wear problems in pins, star wheels and castings. It then explains how to box the colors for gingham filling patterns, with sample forms listing picks, colors and box orders for 4-box and 3-box patterns.
