A German-language technical treatise (1890) on mechanical weaving with special attention to leno (Dreher) fabrics. The first part is a theoretical course for doup-shaft weaving: how to draw and read leno threading/tie-up notations (Schnürung), transposing them from drawings, and groups of patterns (right-hand leno, pointed threading, serpentine leno on point paper). The second part covers the practical power loom (Hodgson system) including frame, shuttle and batten mechanisms, regulator calculations, eccentrics and disc eccentrics, dobbies (Schaufelmaschine, Hattersley, Bland, others), card punching, doup setups on each, and Jacquard-type machines. Illustrated with lithographed plates of weave drafts and mechanical drawings.
