A 1924 German-language technical treatise on mechanical narrow-fabric (ribbon or band) looms. It first describes the standard mechanical band loom part by part (frame, main shaft, eccentric shaft, sley drive, shuttle and warp-let-off motions, take-up). It then surveys special loom constructions, sleys and shuttles, largely through excerpts from Austrian, German and other patent specifications with numbered line drawings. The book closes with a crank-motion section, a costing section and a patent index.
