A book of line drawings and sketches of cotton spinning machinery by William Scott Taggart, issued as a companion to his book on cotton mill management. It illustrates equipment from bale breakers, mixing, scutchers, openers and carding engines through draw frames, slubbers, intermediates and rovers, to ring frames, spinning mules, winding frames and hank polishing machines. Figures include gearing plans, sections and elevations, and mill floor plans for card rooms and spinning rooms, with some maker illustrations (Dobson & Barlow, Joseph Stubbs, Platt Brothers, Howard & Bullough). The book has prefaces, notes to the second and third editions, and a list of figures; it has no weaving drafts.

A British technical manual on the management of a cotton spinning mill, covering each process from bale cotton through mixing, opening, scutching, carding, drawing, combing, roving frames, mules, and ring frames. It also treats testing, yarn conditioning, calculations (drafts, twists, counts, doubling, shaper wheel changes), and mill management and responsibility. It includes many tables of speeds, settings, twists, and yarn weights, along with machinery makers' advertisements at the front and back.

A single page from a serial instalment of W. Scott Taggart's "The Mechanics of Textile Processes," giving worked examples of lever and moment calculations (W × x = P × y). The examples include a safety valve and the weighted calender rollers of a cotton lap machine or opener, where the pressure between each pair of rollers is calculated. It ends by introducing the center of gravity.

A single page from the magazine Textiles, from W. Scott Taggart's series on the mechanics of textile processes. It covers centers of gravity and balancing of pulleys, worked lever-moment problems (a weighted lever and a safety-valve lever), and the concepts of mechanical advantage and velocity ratio for levers. The foot of the page continues a 'Straight Line' textile calculations table of yarn count conversions from the metric number to Yorkshire, denier, dram, jute and grains-per-length systems.

A single page from a series by W. Scott Taggart on the mechanics underlying textile machinery. It works through numerical examples of beams, moments and levers: finding the pressure on each support of a loaded beam, balancing a beam on a fulcrum, and a bent lever with hanging weights. It also describes simple experiments with spring balances and a pivoted rod to check the laws of equilibrium. The page ends with a short trade notice for a baling press for cotton, wool, waste and rags.

Two pages from a serial article on the mechanics of textile machinery, applying lever principles to weighting arrangements on cotton machines. Worked examples cover roller pressures, the bent lever weighting the dish feed-roller on a carding machine, dead-weight arrangements and the graphical finding of roller pressure. It also explains the bent-lever yarn balance and the lea strength tester, which uses a weighted pointer on a quadrant scale (Figs. 142-150).
