Volume 1 of the seven-volume Cyclopedia of Textile Work (American Technical Society, 1907) is a technical instruction text on cotton fiber and cotton yarn manufacture. It covers cotton botany, cultivation, grading and baling, then follows the mill process step by step: opening and picking, carding, combing, drawing frames, fly frames (slubber, intermediate and roving), ring spinning and mule spinning. It includes many mechanical line drawings of machines and gearing diagrams, calculation rules for draft, twist, hank roving and production, tables, and review questions at the end of each section.

Volume 3 of the seven-volume Cyclopedia of Textile Work (American Technical Society, 1913), made up of instruction papers on textile design with a closing section on textile coloring and a long section on cost finding in cotton mills. The design parts cover plain weave, twills, sateens, ribs, basket and corkscrew weaves, backed cloths, double and triple cloths, pile fabrics (plush, velvet, chinchilla), piqué, gauze and leno. They include drafting, chain plans, point-paper exercises, design paper ruling and review questions. The volume is heavily illustrated with draft and drawdown grids, loom and Jacquard machine photographs, and cost tables for cheviot, print cloth and madras.

Volume 5 of the seven-volume Cyclopedia of Textile Work, an American Technical Society correspondence-school reference on machine knitting. It covers cylinder spring needle and latch needle circular machines, stationary needle cylinder and Leighton flat-head machines, hand and full-automatic hosiery machines, fancy and lace-effect hosiery, and full-fashioned machines. The final section deals with knit goods finishing: sewing and finishing machines such as the Merrow and Willcox & Gibbs, and machines for underwear. Text includes yarn number tables, needle and cam mechanics, machine adjustment instructions, hand-knitting instructions for mittens and gloves, and review questions. It is heavily illustrated with machine drawings and photographs of fabric swatches and knitting rooms.

Volume 6 of the seven-volume Cyclopedia of Textile Work (American Technical Society, 1913), made up mainly of the instruction paper on Textile Chemistry and Dyeing, followed by a section on textile calculations. The chemistry and dyeing part covers the technology of cotton, linen, jute, wool, silk and artificial silk fibres. It also covers bleaching (kiers, singeing, chemicking, souring), mordants, natural dyestuffs such as indigo and logwood, and artificial dye classes (basic, acid, direct cotton, sulphur, mordant, azo, vat and aniline black). Further chapters deal with dyeing machinery, water supply and softening for the mill, and review questions. The calculations section gives rules for yarn counts, cloth balance, reeding and the quantities of yarn needed per pattern, and one page shows a draft or design.
