A PRACTICAL TREATISE on the connection of THE POWER-LOOM and the ART OF WEAVING. Intended as a textbook for those engaged in the actual operation of weaving and in the mechanical duties connected within the trade. It is endeavoured to describe the principles involved in, and the parts which govern, the various movements of the power-loom and the processes of weaving. The tenth edition was published in 1921. Many of the earliest books on weaving, textiles and needlework, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
