A German technical treatise (1905) on the theory and practice of pile fabrics woven on power looms, written by a weaving technician in Chemnitz. It covers carpets (Smyrna, Axminster, Brussels, Tournai, chenille, imitation knotted carpets, coconut mats), upholstery plush and moquette (mohair, wool, linen and cotton plush), clothing plush (shoe plush, velvet, ribbon, astrakhan-type Krimmer, sealskin plush), travel rugs and terry cloths. It explains pile bindings, wire (Rute) and double-cloth looms, Jacquard and dobby arrangements, finishing, and how to decompose plush samples, with 222 figures including many threading and tie-up drafts and binding cross-sections.
