Contents include “A History of Textiles and Weaving”, “Manufacture of Narrow and Woven Fabrics”, “Various Yarns Used”, “Foundation Weaves”, “Derivative Weaves”, “Special Weaves and Effects”, “Looms for Narrow Woven Fabrics”, “Electric Power Increases Profits From High-Speed Ribbon Looms”, etc. .Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
