Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analysis of Woven Fabrics I feel that I should not be doing justice to those who have followed me did I not here pay some tribute to the work that has been carried out by lecturers in that department of the Bradford Technical College over which I have the honour to preside, and especially to the research work of Mr. Midgley, without which the present treatise would have lost much of its value. At the: time when I wrote my little treatise I could but give a skeleton-sketch of the methods whereby a fabric might not only be analysed in the Finished State but from these Finished Particulars the Loom Particulars ascertained. In the present treatise so fully are the changes from the Finished State back to the Loom Particulars for the various standard-cloths indicated that the designer may proceed without fear where previously he would not have ventured to tread. Mr. Midgley has also succeeded in bringing the Costing of Cloths up' to a previously unthought of state of efficiency. The present treatise may be regarded as a further step towards the more perfect application of scientific method.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton Loom Fixing The author has been a weaver, loom fixer, second hand and overseer, and is now a designer in a large New England cot ton mill. His experience has been wholly on cotton goods, embracing all kinds of cotton looms from the plain loom to the jacquard, having managed full sections of all types. He is instructor in one of the most practical textile schools in the United States. A book on practical loom fixing should be as free from technicalities as possible. The reader should be led directly to the heart of the subject. The men who are to benefit from such a book are usually working hard in the mills and at the close of the day's work are not in a condition to study or understand a mass of technical details. The object of the book is to make better workmen, get them interested and keep them interested so they will take a greater interest in their work in the mill. In this way the readers are made to feel that there is more to the art of weaving and fixing than merely throwing in a shuttle or using a wrench.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Loom of Destiny On the ragged skirts of the great city, where a steady stream of lorries and electric cars rumble over the Canal Bridge, stand twenty high-fenced, grimy acres of coal heaps. All day long, year in and year out, the blackened and lumbering coal-carts ply back and forth between those high-fenced acres of bituminous blackness and the switching yard of the railway, stopping only at the weigh scales as they go. As these loaded carts jolt over the stony road, a ragged band of cadaverous and hungry-eyed urchins, trailing behind them ludicrously improvised wheeled things, follow them like vultures, waiting to pounce down on any loose chunk of coal that may jolt unnoticed from the big cart.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crompton and Knowles Loom Works Crompton & Knowles Loom Works takes pleasure in presenting to its customers and textile manufactures this catalog in which may be found illustrations of many of the different varieties of looms manufactured. All the looms shown are in general use for weaving various fabrics of cotton, woolen, worsted, silk, etc. Those familiar with the development of the textile industry will appreciate the value of our long experience in designing and building weaving machinery. The inventive skill and genius of the best minds in the textile industry have produced these highly developed looms which may be found in many mills throughout the country. The development of these looms has been made possible by bringing together under one management a number of independent companies formerly engaged in building looms, dobbies, jacquards, etc., for the manufacture of textile fabrics. Among the prominent companies now incorporated with the Crompton & Knowles Loom Works arc the Crompton Loom Works, established in 1851 under the name of George Crompton; The Knowles Loom Works, founded in 1863 under the name of L. J. Knowles and Brother; the George W. Stafford Mfg. Company, the Gilbert Loom Company, the M. A. Furbush and Sons Machine Co., the A. H. Steele Loom Co. and the Crompton-Thayer Loom Company. It is the purpose of this catalog to present some of the principal types of looms which we manufacture, but it is impossible to describe all the distinguishing features regarding the looms, in a catalog of this kind. Correspondence in reference to any of the looms or weaving problems is solicited and we shall always be glad to furnish all the information possible regarding the looms we build.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Weaving and Designing of Textile Fabrics: With Chapters on the Principles of Construction of the Loom, Calculations and Colour The manufacture Of worsted is supposed by some to have preceded that of woollen, and in support of this the writer Of the article in Rees' Cyclopaedia says the long stapled wool suited to the comb seems more spontaneously the produce Of uncultivated sheep than short wool, which is to be manufactured by carding. Some writers suppose the Argali species to be the original sheep. Prof. Archer says, The fact that the sheep has been so long domesticated, has caused it to be a matter Of uncertainty whether it has been derived from any Of the existing animals Of the genus 0712's. Many have entertained the opinion that it is the same animal as the Argali, 0722's Ammon, Linn., a native of the mountains of Central Asia, and a great weight of evidence in favour Of that supposition is obtained from the circumstance, that all the tribes Of people who have from time immemorial dwelt on the plains surrounding those mountains have always been pastoral in their habits and occupations. Still, however, there is no positive proof that our sheep was derived either from the Argali or any other known wild species, and the probability has been much lessened by the recent discoveries Of the remains Of sheep, mingled with stone weapons of a people who existed under such different conditions Of the earth's surface, that we may assume with as much probability that they were the progenitors Of the Asiatics, as that the latter were their ancestors. And Dr. Carpenter, in his Zoology, says the Argali is not the original sheep. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Whether, therefore, the threads are spun from the produce of the animal, vegetable, or mineral kingdom whether of sheep's wool, goats' hair, camels' wool, or camels' hair 3 whether of ﬂax, hemp, mallow, or the filaments drawn out of the leaves of plants of the lily and asphodel tribes of ﬂowers, or the fibrous coating about pods, or cotton; whether of gold, silver, or of any other metal the webs from all such materials are textiles. Unlike these are other appliances for garmwt-making in many countries; and of such materials not the least curious, if not odd to our ideas, is paper, which is so much employed for the purpose by the Japanese. A careful reference to a map of the world will show us the materials which from the earliest ages the inhabitants of the world had at hand, in every clime, for making articles of dress. In all the colder regions the well-furred skins of several families of beasts could, by the ready help of a thorn for a needle and of the animal's own sinews for thread, be fashioned after a manner into various kinds of clothing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Textile Design: Pure and Applied On the other hand, many cloths are produced in which the weave structure or build of the fabric is of vital importance: in which the whole effect depends upon the method of interlacing the warp and the weft in the process of weaving. Such cloths are made from yarns of every well-known kind of textile fibre. Designers of these fabrics must have an intimate knowledge of cloth structure, and should thoroughly understand how to make due allowance for the various restrictions imposed upon them by the particular type of loom in which the designs are to be developed. For such men a purely art training is not an absolute necessity, unless, indeed, when they are engaged in the preparation of the more elaborately figured kinds. Where coloured yarns are extensively used, as in the woollen, worsted, and silk industries, 3. Sound knowledge of the principles of colouring and their application to the blending of the fibres, and to the arrangement of the coloured yarns, is essential; while, for certain kinds of cloth, e.g., tapestries, brocades, etc., the designer is expected to be conversant with all branches - art, colour, weave structure, and processes of production.

Unlike many of the ornaments of well-ordered and well-furnished homes, there is no chance of the question being asked, regarding fine linen of any sort, "After all, of what use is it?" for there is no woman who does not know, either from possession, or the hope of possession, the pleasure of an abundance of this most serviceable of household necessities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Design Texts: A Practical Treatise on Textile Design, Cloth Construction, Fabric Analysis and Calculations Weaving was practiced by the Egyptians, although little is known of their looms or the manner in which they prepared yarn for the loom. The discovery of a few wall paintings at Thebes, among which were representations of the Egyptian methods of weaving and spinning, gives us our first knowledge of ancient looms. One method was to weave the fabric in a horizontal posi tion, in fact, on the ground, the weaver sitting on the woven fabric. Vertical looms were also used, the weaver throwing the filling through the shed by means of a rod. On the end of this rod was a hook, to which the filling was attached. Two weavers were frequently employed, sitting at either side of the loom, pass ing the rod back and forth through the shed. The Greeks and Romans used vertical looms similar to the Egyptian. The cloth was woven upwards, the warp being sus pended from the top beam of the loom, and the lower ends tied in separate portions and weighted to keep the threads in tension. The filling was combed into position by means of a comb adapted for the purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
