A technical textbook on power-loom weaving of jute and linen, in its second edition (1914), by two Scottish technical-college instructors. It covers yarn counts, reeling and bundling, warp and weft winding, warping, beaming and sizing (including sizing chemicals), drawing-in and reeding, and the loom motions: shedding by tappet, dobby and jacquard, picking, beating up, let-off, take-up, box motions, auxiliary motions, terry towel motions, automatic weft supply and selvages. It is heavily illustrated with mechanical drawings of machinery by makers such as Lupton and Place and Anderston Foundry, and includes calculations for pinions and shotting plus a few pegging and draft diagrams.

A comprehensive 1912 textbook on the technical design of woven textiles by two Scottish technical-college instructors. It works through plain, twill and sateen weaves, mock lenos, huckabacks, honeycombs, crêpes, spots, dice and diamond designs, damasks and jacquard mounting. It goes on to compound, backed and double cloths, three-ply and multi-ply fabrics, pile fabrics (velvets, plushes, carpets, terry), Bedford cords and piqués, gauze, leno, lappet and swivel fabrics, and silk picture weaving. The book is heavily illustrated with drawdowns, drafts and weaving plans, plus harness and card-cutting calculations for dobby and jacquard looms. Originally serialized in the Textile Manufacturer, it was aimed at jute and linen weaving and extended to general industrial textile design.
