A German-language textbook on machine elements and power transmission for weaving schools, third edition, approved for instruction in Austrian weaving schools in 1913. It covers materials for machine parts, fasteners (screws, keys, rivets), shafts, bearings, couplings, belt, rope, chain, friction and gear drives, crank mechanisms, ratchets and brakes, pipes and valves, and mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical transmission. The text is illustrated with about 190 engineering figures; a few passages mention textile applications such as loom let-off regulators, shuttle counters, Jacquard drives and electric loom drive.
