Atlas volume of plates (Tafeln 2-141, Figs. 17-1677) accompanying J. Schams' Handbuch der Weberei. It consists almost entirely of figures: fibre plants and fibres, preparatory machines (warping, sizing, winding), looms and loom parts, shedding mechanisms (dobby, Jacquard), shuttle and box motions, and many weave drawdowns and patterns. Text is limited to plate and figure numbers, a few labels (e.g. Schaft, Schuss, Poilfaden, Würfel) and machine-maker names. Plate 1 is noted as missing, and the plates are reduced to 80%.
