A German textbook on power-loom weaving by H. Repenning, a teacher at the higher textile school in Aachen, written for technical schools and self-study. It covers loom frames and drives (including electric motors), warp and cloth beam regulators and brakes, and shedding motions (tappets, dobbies, Jacquard and Verdol machines). It also covers weft insertion: picking and shuttle motions, shuttle box changes, automatic bobbin changing, brocade, gripper and rod looms, ribbon looms and cut-selvedge devices. It includes 398 figures, mostly mechanical line drawings, plus a few weave-related drafts and card-punching examples, and ends with sections on loom speed, power consumption and accident prevention.
