Originally published in 1901. Part II. PREFACE. The aim of this volume is to keep machinery relating to weaving up to date before the public. It therefore does this by treating only such modern machinery and devices needed in the weaving department of an up to date mill as came to my notice since Part I was published.Parts I and II combined, form one of the most valuable manuals to every Textile Manufacturer, Superintendent, Designer, Overseer and Student who wants to keep in touch with the latest and most improved machinery, etc. Illustrations and reading matter have been most carefully prepared and no time, labor or money spared to bring the various subjects as plain as possible before the reader. 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 art
