Article · 2 pages · German
Two-page scan from Melliand's Textilberichte (1927) with Max Goll's article on a patented device (German patent no. 350 870) that saves Jacquard cards in Gobelin-style picture weaving. By repeating warp groups across the harness and automatically stepping the card set back to repeat weft groups, one card set can weave a pattern at double or multiple size, as in a wall tapestry woven at 175x80 cm and 350x160 cm. The scan also includes the continuation of E. Frotscher's article on crepe weaves, covering rib crepe (Ripskrepp) bindings built by superimposing weaves, with 8, 12 and 16-thread repeats and draft diagrams (Patronen 46-85). The page before Goll's article ends the text of an unrelated piece on wire heddles.
