It may indeed +be proud of this position, to which that enterprising spirit and untiring +energy peculiar to our nation, combined with our great technical and +natural resources, has brought it. + +That we are, on the other hand, not yet at the height of perfection we are +also compelled to acknowledge, but if we consider the short space of time +that the American industry has required for its development, as compared to +the decades, almost centuries, to which some of the great European silk +centers can look back, the fact is neither surprising nor discouraging. + +While it must not be our aim to imitate or copy their ways, inasmuch as out +conditions and circumstances are quite different from theirs, we may still +profitably study their methods in order to overcome our deficiencies. + +The greatest advantage which our competitors derive from such a long +existence consists in having at their disposal a force of skilful, trained +help. The manufacturers, appreciating the importance of this factor, make +great efforts and pecuniary sacrifices to elevate and maintain the high +standard of their industry. + +For instance, they support textile schools and lecture courses, where young +men can acquire a thorough technical education and equip themselves for a +career of usefulness, thereby serving their own interests and at the same +time furthering those of their chosen profession. + + [Page 6] +This beneficial influence cannot fail to exert itself from the standard of +the higher employer down to that of the weaver, who would naturally take +more pains and interest in his work than if he were a mere mechanical +appendage to his loom in order to keep it in motion. + +Very little has been done in his country for technical education as far as +the silk industry is concerned, and it was on this special branch, that +prompted the author to offer in the present little work a treatise on the +theory of shaft weaving for broad silks and ribbons. + +It is divided into three principal parts: + + #1st. Drawing-in the warp in the harness. + 2nd. The weaves and their application. + 3rd. Decomposition or analysis of the cloth.# + +To the foregoing there have been added in the revised and enlarged edition +several additional parts covering the following: JACQUARD WEAVES, BOX LOOM +WEAVES, including CREPES, and COST CALCULATIONS for plain and fancy weaves. + +The subject while condensed, is made as clear and comprehensible as +possible, and to many desirous of increasing their knowledge in this +direction, this should prove a valuable help. + +The author, through the medium of this work, hopes to win the approval and +encouragement of the manufacturers, and will feel amply repaid should his +efforts tend to develop a deeper interest in the "Queen of Textiles." + + * * * * * + + [Page 7] +THEORY OF SILK WEAVING + +DRAWING-IN + +With this term we designate the operation preceding the weaving, by which +all the warp-threads are drawn through the heddles of the harness. + +The order in which this is done varies according to the weave and the +nature of the fabric to be produced; so we distinguish: + + #Straight draws, + Skip draws, + Point draws, + Section draws.# + + * * * * * + +STRAIGHT DRAWS + +[Illustration: Fig. 1] + + * * * * + + [Page 8] +[Illustration: Fig. 2] + +These form the simplest and most common method of drawing-in. We begin with +the first heddle on the left side of the shaft _nearest to the warp-beam_, +then take the first heddle of second shaft and so on until all the shafts +the set contains are used in rotation. This completes one "draw," and this +operation is repeated until all the warp-threads are taken up. + +The method of making the shaft nearest to the warp-beam the first, is +almost universal with the silk business and is technically called +_drawing-in from back to front_. + +The opposite, or drawing in from _front to rear_, is used occasionally, +however, and in this case makes the first heddle on the left hand side of +the front shaft No. 1. + +The making out of the _Drawing-in Draft_, which must indicate the +arrangement or the rotation in which the warp-threads are drawn in, can be +done in various ways, of which we will mention the two most popular +methods. The first is by using common designing paper, and indicating the +rotation by dots. The horizonal rows of squares represent the shafts, the +vertical rows the warp-threads. Fig. 1 shows four repeats of a straight +draw on six harness marked out according to this idea. A second method is +to use paper ruled horizontally, the lines representing the shafts; and to +draw vertical lines for the warp-threads. The latter are made to stop on + [Page 9] +the lines bearing the number of the shafts into which the respective +threads are to be drawn. Fig. 2 is such a draft, illustrating six repeats +of a draw on four harness from "Front to Rear." + + * * * * * + +SKIP DRAWS + +[Illustration: Fig. 3] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 4] + +The draws coming under this heading are used very extensively in silk +weaving, especially for fabrics requiring a heavy warp and a large number +of shafts. Enter first the odd and then the even shafts. An 8 harness draw +of this kind, of which three repeats are shown in Fig. 3, runs as follows: +1, 3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8. + +Fig. 4 is a 12 harness draw of the same class. + + * * * * * + +POINT DRAWS + +[Illustration: Fig. 5] + + * * * * + + [Page 10] +[Illustration: Fig. 6] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 7] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 8] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 9] + + [Page 11] +Point draws are a combination of a regular straight draw from back to front +and one from front to back, the first and the last shafts only being used +once, while the rest receive two ends each in one repeat of the draw. Fig. +5 illustrates a regular point draw in 2 repeats on 10 shafts. It will be +seen that 14 ends make a repeat; in fact, the number of warp-threads +required for one draw will always be double the number of harness less 2, +hence a 12 harness regular point draw will require 22 warp-threads for a +repeat. + +The drawing-in draft illustrated in Fig. 6 is a slight variation of the +regular point draw; it consists, as will be seen, of a draw from back to +front, and also a full one from front to back, there by causing a _double +point_. + +Another change from the regular point draw is illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8; +this class may be called _Broken point draws_, because a new draw is begun +before the other one is complete. Fig. 9 also comes in this class and +represents a _zigzag draw_ on 10 harness. + +The drawing-in drafts which we have described under the head of "Point +draws," are used mostly to obtain the various pointed and zigzag effects. + + * * * * * + +SECTION DRAWS + +[Illustration: Fig. 10] + + * * * * + + [Page 12] +[Illustration: Fig. 11] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 12] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 13] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 14] + + * * * * + + [Page 13] +[Illustration: Fig. 15] + +This division of drawing-in drafts is used extensively in silk +manufacturing; for instance, in all fabrics having a ground warp and a +binder warp, also in double-face goods, or where two different weaves are +combined in one effect. + +One or more threads are drawn on the first section, then one or more on a +second and third, if the harness is divided in so many sets. + +The following examples will illustrate the principle of these draws. + +In Fig. 10, shafts 1, 2, 3, 4 from the first set, shafts 5 and 6 the +second, 8 threads are drawn straight on the first, then 2 on the second +section. + +Fig. 11, first set shafts 1 to 6 inclusive, second set shafts 7 and 8. + +Fig. 12 is drawn end and end on two sections having 8 shafts each. + +Figs. 13, 14 and 15, while not strictly belonging to the class of section +draws, may, however, be considered under this heading. The idea is to draw +a certain number of ends in one part of the harness and another group in +another part, be it straight, point or skip, which will cause the effect on +the cloth to be accordingly transposed or broken up. + + [Page 15] + * * * * * + +THE WEAVES AND THEIR CONSTRUCTION + +In any woven fabric we distinguish two systems of threads, the _Warp or +Chain_, running lengthways in the cloth, and the _Filling or Weft_, +crossing the former at right angles. + +This crossing or interlacing consists of every individual warp-thread being +placed alternately under and over one or more threads of the filling +system. The arrangement of this interlacing is technically called the +_Weave_, and the variety in which the points of crossing can be distributed +is practically endless. + +It is principally the weave that lends to a fabric its character, +influenced, of course, by the material used, the size and tension of the +threads and the combination of the colors. + +The weaves are divided into three main classes: _the Foundation weaves_. In +the silk business they are known under the following names: + + #The Taffeta Weave, + The Serge Weave, + The Satin Weave.# + +In the foundation weaves each thread effects only one crossing in one +repeat of the weave, and the points of interlacing occur in a given +rotation. A repeat in the foundation weaves comprises the same number of +warp-threads as of _picks_ or filling threads, and if this number is 8, for + [Page 16] +instance, the weave is called an 8-shaft or an 8-harness weave. In marking +out a weave, the warp-threads are represented by vertical lines, the +filling by horizontal ones, or in each case by the space between these +lines. The places where a warp-thread lies over the filling are marked with +paint or simply with a cross. In a similar manner we mark out the _chain +draft_, which indicates the rotation in which the shafts are raised. + + * * * * * + + [Page 17] +THE TAFFETA WEAVE + +[Illustration: Fig. 16] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 17] + + [Page 18] +This is the simplest and oldest method of interlacing. The odd numbers of +warp-threads cross the even numbers after every pick; hence of two +warp-threads one will always go over the first pick and under the second, +and the other end under the first and over the second pick. Taffeta cloth, +therefore, has the same appearance on both sides, and in cotton and wool +weaving this weave is technically--and properly indeed--called the _Plain +Weave_. It has the smallest repeat, 2 warp-threads and 2 picks, and the +exchanging of warp and filling is the most frequent possible. The cloth +thus produced is firmer and stronger than that obtained with any other +weave. + +Fig. 16 is a taffeta on 4 shafts straight draw, the draft executed in the +manner which we have already mentioned in explaining the drawing-in drafts. + +Fig. 17 on common designing paper, illustrates a taffeta made on 8-harness, +skip draw. + +Be it mentioned that the drawing-in draft and the chain draft will be added +throughout this work, the former over the weave to correspond with the +respective warp-threads, the latter to the right of the drawing-in draft. + + * * * * * + + [Page 19] +GROS DE TOURS WEAVES + +[Illustration: Fig. 18] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 19] + +In this weave the working of the warp is the same as in taffeta, except +that instead of one pick, two or more are inserted in the same shed. It is +mostly used in selvedges, where it serves to give more firmness to the edge +of an otherwise loosely woven cloth, and prevents the weaving ahead of the +edge in a tight weave. Gros de Tours is sometimes used, especially when +cotton or wool filling is employed, with a view to lay two picks nicely +side by side, whereas a thread entered two ply with the taffeta weave will +always receive some twist, which may disturb the perfect evenness of the +fabric. + +Fig. 18 is a Gros de Tours with two picks on four harness straight through. + +Fig. 19 illustrates this weave with three picks drawn end and end on two +sections of four shafts each. + + * * * * * + + [Page 20] +SERGE or TWILL WEAVES + +While the taffeta weave produces either an entirely smooth fabric, or one +with a distinct transverse rib as in gros-grain, the twill weave forms +diagonal lines on the cloth, running either from left to right or from +right to left. + +To make a twill, not less than three ends and three picks are required, of +which each thread floats over two of the other system and interlaces with +the third. The rotation of the interlacing is always consecutive, that is +it moves with each succeeding pick one thread to the right (or to the left +if the lines are to run in that direction). If warp and filling have the +same texture, that is the same number of threads in a given space, the +twill lines will form an angle of 45°; if the warp stands closer than the +filling, the incline will be steeper, and in the opposite case the angle +will approach more the horizontal. + +The weaves can be expressed in numbers, for instance: the 3-end twill warp +effect would be marked 2-1, which indicates that each warp-thread goes over +two and under one pick. + +Twill weaves are called _evensided_ when the arrangement of "warp up" and +"filling up" are evenly balanced, and _unevensided_ if either warp or +filling predominate on the face of the fabric; the latter class is +therefore subdivided in _Warp effects_ and _Filling effects_. + +In the following a number of serge weaves are illustrated, the French +designations being added in some cases, as they are still extensively used +in the trade. + + [Page 21] + * * * * * + +FILLING EFFECTS + +_Satin de Lyon,_ 2-1. + +On 6 harness straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 20] + + * * * * + +_Levantine,_ 3-1<h/5> + +On 8 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 21] + + * * * * + + [Page 22] +_Polonaise,_ 5-1 + +On 12 harness skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 22] + + * * * * + +_Serge grosse côte,_ 7-1 + +On 8 shafts straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 23] + + * * * * + + [Page 23] +_Serge remaine,_ 6-2 + +On 8 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 24] + + * * * * + +_Serge,_ 5-1, 1-1. + +On 8 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 25] + + * * * * + + [Page 24] +_Serge,_ 4-2, 1-1, 1-1. + +On 10 harness straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 26] + + * * * * + +_Serge,_ 7-1, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1. + +On 16 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 27] + + * * * * * + + [Page 25] +WARP EFFECTS + +_Levantine,_ 3-1. + +On 4 shafts straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 28] + + * * * * + +_Serge,_ 5-1, 1-1. + +On 8 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 29] + + * * * * * + + [Page 26] +EVENSIDED TWILLS + +_Surah,_ 2-2 + +On 4 shafts straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 30] + + * * * * + +_Croise,_ 3-3, 2-2, 1-1. + +On 12 shafts straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 31] + + * * * * + + [Page 27] +_Serge,_ 7-7, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1 + +On 20 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 32] + + * * * * * + +POINTED TWILLS + +in the direction of the filling and also of the warp. + +[Illustration: Fig. 33] + +On 4 shafts point draw, weave 3-1. + + * * * * + + [Page 28] +[Illustration: Fig. 34] + + On 6 shafts point draw, drawn as follows: + + Eighteen ends from back to front and 4 ends from front to rear, weave + 5-1. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 35] + +On 8 shafts pointed draw, weave 5-1, 1-1. + + * * * * + + [Page 29] +[Illustration: Fig. 36] + +On 10 shafts, with weave 3-3, drawn as follows: + + 7 threads from back to front. + 3 " " front to rear. + 6 " " back to front. + 2 " " front to rear. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 37] + +On 6 shafts straight draw, pointed weave 5-1. + + * * * * + + [Page 30] +[Illustration: Fig. 38] + +On 8 shafts straight through, pointed weave 5-1, 1-1. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 39] + +_Broken pointed twill_, on 8 harness. + + * * * * + + [Page 31] +[Illustration: Fig. 40] + +On 6 shafts point draw, pointed weave 5-1. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 41] + +On 8 shafts point draw, pointed weave 5-1, 1-1. + + * * * * + + [Page 32] +[Illustration: Fig. 42] + +_Fancy twill_, on 16 shafts straight draw. + + * * * * * + +SATIN WEAVES + +The distinct diagonal lines which characterize the class of weaves +explained in the previous chapter are absent in the satin weaves; and while +the interlacing in the former is done in a strictly consecutive order, we +endeavor to scatter the points of stitching in the latter as much as +possible, in order to create an entirely smooth and brilliant surface on + [Page 33] +the cloth. + +In all satins the number of ends in a repeat is the same in warp and +filling. + +The lowest repeat of a regular satin comprises five threads of each system, +and the interlacing is done in the following order: + + The 1st pick with the 1st warp-thread + " 2d " " 3d " + " 3d " " 5th " + " 4th " " 2d " + " 5th " " 4th " + +Fig. 43 illustrates this weave. An examination of the rotation, as given +above, will show that every warp-thread intersects two picks apart from its +neighbor. The number "2" is in this case what is technically known as the +_counter_, that is the number which indicates the points of interlacing by +adding it to number 1 and continuing so until all the warp-threads are +taken up. + +The following is the rule to find the counter for any regular satin: + +Divide the number of harness into two parts, which must neither be equal +nor have a common divisor. Any of these two numbers can be used for +counting off, but usually the smaller one is taken.

From the Twills + +One variety is obtained by interlacing the warp-threads alternately one or +more picks behind, and then a number of picks ahead of their respective +neighbors; so the complete arrangement of the points of binding in a repeat +will generally form two parallel diagonal lines. This will cause the twill +lines to appear less pronounced than is the case in the regular twill, and +the character of the fabric approaches more that of the satin. + + [Page 44] +[Illustration: Fig. 58] + +_Satin Sergé._ + +On 8 shafts, straight draw. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 59] + +_Côte Satinée._ + +On 16 harness, skip draw. + + * * * * + +_Rhadzimir-Surah 2-2._ After a certain number of picks of the regular surah +all the warp-threads are crossed in two's thereby causing a sort of a rib +or cut line across the fabric. + + [Page 45] +_Rhadzimir of 4 picks._ + +On 8 shafts, straight draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 60] + + * * * * + +_Rhadzimir of 6 picks._ + +On 8 shafts, straight draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 61] + + * * * * * + + [Page 46] +3.

The threads +going into the composition of these effects exchange continually from +taffeta interlacing to floating over a certain number of threads, and must +be introduced either in warp or filling close enough to make the floats +cover up the taffeta work entirely, and thus enable the material used to +show up with the full brilliancy it possesses. + +Cannele effects can be produced in two distinct ways. One is to let every +individual thread work alternately taffeta and float, while in the other +method one thread weaves always taffeta, and a second thread is used for +the cannele exclusively. These latter threads must come from a separate +warp, which is introduced to embellish the ground or taffeta part of the +fabric. + +The floating threads can either stitch all on one pick and so form a +continuous cut line, or be divided in groups, of which one will bind in the +middle of the floats of the other group.

The color on one side is +generally different from the other, and so may the interlacing be of a +different nature on face and back. In the latter case great care must be +exercised not to allow the weave on one side to disturb the one on the +other, and as a rule the points of interlacing of the first warp or filling +system are placed as much as possible in the middle of the floats of the +second. This will prevent either color or weave to be seen on the opposite +side, as the floats of one side will naturally lay themselves over the +binders of the other. The number of ends in a repeat of the two weaves must +either be alike or one a multiple of the other. + +Warp Effects + +_Levantine_ on 8 shafts straight draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 74] + + * * * * + + [Page 56] +_Serge_ 6-2 on 2 sections of 8 shafts each. + +[Illustration: Fig. 75] + + * * * * + +8 _shaft satin_ on 2 sections of 8 harness each. + +[Illustration: Fig. 76] + + * * * * + + [Page 57] +12 _shaft satin_ on 2 sections of 12 shafts each. + +[Illustration: Fig. 77] + + * * * * + +_Cannele_ of 8 picks on 2 sections of 4 shafts each. + +[Illustration: Fig. 78] + + * * * * * + + [Page 58] +FILLING EFFECTS + +_Serge_ 5-1 on 6 harness straight draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 79] + + * * * * + +10 _harness satin_ on 10 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 80] + + * * * * + + [Page 59] +_Repp_ on 2 sections of 4 shafts each, 8 threads per section. + +[Illustration: Fig. 81] + + * * * * + + [Page 60] +PEKINS + +With this name we designate fabrics in which stripes of a different +interlacing run in the direction of the warp.

Care +must be taken to arrange the joining of the two weaves so that the last +thread of one weave will cross the first thread of the other. This will +prevent the threads from either stripe to slide over into the other, and so +make a clean cut line. + +#Pekin.# A stripe of + + 2 dents of 8 ends each, 8 shaft Satin, on 8 shafts straight draw. + 12 " 2 " Taffeta " 4 " " " + +[Illustration: Fig. 82] + + * * * * + + [Page 61] +#Pekin#.

THE WEAVE + +If a given sample is to be reproduced or imitated, it must be analyzed, and +the following hints will greatly facilitate this operation to the beginner. + +Cut the sample straight on two sides, and draw out a number of warp and +filling threads until there is a small fringe of perhaps ¼ of an inch. This +will allow a thread to be raised a little for examination, without danger +of its falling out of the fabric. In most cases it is easier to dissect the +filling side, that is, the interlacing of each warp-thread in the threads +of the filling system. With the help of the microscope or counting glass we +can easily determine over and under how many picks that thread passes and +the points of interlacing are accordingly marked on designing paper. This +being done for at least the length of a repeat warpways, we take it out and +examine the following thread, and so on until the repeat filling-ways is +complete. It is advisable to ascertain how many picks ahead or back of the +first examined thread the next following one binds before taking the former +out. + +A knowledge of the construction of weaves as explained in the foregoing +chapters will enable us to determine the weave of a simple pattern by +merely raising a warp-thread with a needle on any point of interlacing and +counting off how many picks apart from this place it makes an impression. + +2. LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE FABRIC + +To the length and width which the finished product is to have, we must add +a certain allowance for shrinkage and _taking up_ of warp during weaving. +It may differ from one to ten per cent., according to the texture and weave +of the fabric, and can be ascertained with sufficient accuracy by +stretching out and measuring a thread of warp and filling and comparing +their length with the respective measurements of the sample to be +reproduced. + + [Page 69] +3. THE STOCK AND ITS DYE + +Under this heading we must give the particulars as to nature, _twist_, +_quality_ and _size_ of the silk, and the directions for the dyeing, +whether _bright_ or _souple_, and in what colors, also whether to be +weighted or not. + +The size is generally ascertained (in practical work) by comparing it with +other silk of which the exact count is known. Another method is to count +the number of cocoon threads which a thread of the sample contains, adding +to that 1/3 or ¼, according to the quality of the silk; the result will be +the count in deniers. To obtain it in drams, divide the latter number by +17,3 as 1 dram is equal to 17,3 deniers. + +Suppose we find 20 cocoon ends in a thread of silk: add 1/3, and we have +26-2/3 deniers, which, divided by 17,3 make 1,54 drams. + +As silk is always more or less uneven, it is safer to count the cocoon +fibers of several threads and to take average thereof. + +It requires the experience of years to judge with any degree of certainty +as to the origin and quality of silk, whether it be "classical," "extra," +"sublime," etc. + +There are machines wherewith to ascertain exactly the twist, that is, the +number of turns the silk has received in the throwing process. + +In the dyeing we distinguish two great classes, of which the names +themselves give a good definition. "Bright" has a brilliant luster, while +"souple" has more of a dull, subdued appearance. To find out whether the +silk has been weighted in the dyeing process, we may compare it with other +silk of which the exact conditions are known, or we may burn a small +quantity of it. Unweighted silk does not burn readily and leaves a residue +of white ashes, while heavy weighted silk burns lively, leaving black, +charry ashes. + + [Page 70] +4. REED CALCULATION + +We count the number of repeats of the weave in a given space, generally ¼ +or ½ inch, and multiply this with the number of threads one repeat +contains, which gives us the reduction of the warp. + +Suppose we had a taffeta, which, as we know, has only 2 ends to a repeat, +and counted 30 interlacings per ¼ inch on one pick; we would have 60 +threads per ¼ inch or 240 per one inch. In this case the reed may be 80 by +3 or 60 by 4. + +Another instance: In an 8-shaft satin we count 10 warp-threads, which bind +on the same pick in ¼ inch; this, multiplied by 8, equals 80 ends per ¼, or +320 per one inch; the reed will be an 80 with 4 in a dent or a 64 by 5. + +In short, the number of the reed is found by dividing the number of +warp-threads that are to go in one dent, in the number of ends per inch. +Sometimes, the reed marks are clearly visible in a sample by holding the +latter against the light. Silk fabrics move with very few exceptions within +the limits of 50 and 90 dents per inch. + +To learn the full number of dents required for the width of the cloth, +simply multiply the dents per one inch with the width, adding a certain +allowance for shrinkage. The edges, of course, must also be taken in +consideration, and very often the dents that are taken up by the latter are +used to counter-balance that shrinkage. + +5. DRAWING-IN THE WARP IN HARNESS AND REED + +Here we must specify the number of dents that contain the same number of +ends, and whether the latter are single or double, also the number of +shafts and the method of drawing-in. + + [Page 71] +6. WARPING TICKET + +To make out the warping ticket, we need to ascertain the total number of +ends, whether leased single or double, and the arrangement of the colors. + +7. HARNESS ARRANGEMENT + +This is governed by the number of ends to be drawn in and the necessary +shafts. If we have, for instance, 100 threads per inch to be drawn on 4 +shafts, we must give each shaft 25 heddles per inch. There are generally +between 25 and 45 heddles per inch on one shaft. + +8. REDUCTION OF THE FILLING + +Here we state the number of picks per inch, give directions as to doubling, +if such is necessary, and if more than one color or shuttle is used, the +rotation thereof. + +9. CALCULATION OF WARP AND FILLING + +The system adopted in this country for specifying the size of silk is based +on the weight in drams (avoirdupois) of a skein containing 1000 yards. A +skein, thus weighing 5 drams, is technically called 5-dram silk. The number +of yards of 1-dram silk to a pound must accordingly be 256000. The formulas +for figuring the amount of silk required for a piece of cloth are as +follows: + +Warp Calculation + + _Multiply_: Number of ends×length×count + ----------------------------- + _Divide by_: 1000 yards×256 drams + + [Page 72] +Filling Calculation + + _Multiply:_ Picks×xply×width×length of piece×count + -------------------------------------- = lbs. + _Divide by:_ 1000 yards×256 drams + + The result in both cases will be in pounds. + +The system of grading the silk which is in vogue in Europe, and which is +employed by a number of mills on this side, is as follows: + + 1 skein of 500 meters, weighing 0,05 grams = 1 denier international + or 1 " 476 " " 0,053 " = 1 " Turin system + or 1 " 476 " " 0,051 " = 1 " Milan " + +The warp calculation, taking the international denier, would run: + + ends in warp×length×denier×0,05 gram + -------------------------------------- + _divided by:_ 500 meters + + for the filling: Picks per meter×xply×width×denier×0,05 gram + --------------------------------------------- + _divided by:_ 500 meters + + Result in metric weight, kilograms and grams. + +10. FINISHING + +Give directions as to the process of finishing to which the goods are to be +subjected, whether to be pressed, calendered, sized, moiréd, etc. + +11. CALCULATION OF COST + +If all the foregoing conditions are ascertained, and a sample or a piece of +the fabric executed, it remains to the manufacturer to determine the exact +figure at which he can produce the article. That this must be done with +great accuracy is naturally of the utmost importance, and the calculator + [Page 73] +must know in the first place the raw stock prices, and also be acquainted +with the details of the manufacturing process and the rates of wages paid +therein. As a rule, the manufacturer establishes a scale of prices covering +all the items of labor cost, mill expenses, etc., and uses this as a basis +for his calculations. + +A rule or formula for this operation cannot very well be given, as the +methods vary in almost every establishment, each choosing the one best +adapted to its ideas or dictates of circumstances and conditions. + + [Page 75] +DISPOSITION 1 + +_Taffeta glacé_ + +[Illustration: Fig. 89] + + [Page 76] + #Length and Width#--One piece 100 yards long, 18¾ inches wide. + + #Stock and Dye#--_Warp._--Ital.

To +obtain these effects the ground is made of one weave, say taffeta, while +the figures or flowers are produced in another weave, say satin. + +We enter the warp through a jacquard harness, and according to the repeat +use a 200, 400, 600, 900, 1200, etc., hook jacquard machine, which means +200, 400, 600, 900 and 1200 ends per repeat. + +With a 600-hook machine a larger repeat can be produced than with a +499-hook machine. For instance, if we want to make a cloth the figures of +which are to be two inches apart, it is a two-inch repeat, and use the +count of 50/4 or 200 ends per inch, we can use a 400-hook machine, 2 in. x +200 ends. But we can make this cloth also on a 1200-hook machine, only the +repeat must be designed three times. The advantage of using a 1200-hook +machine with the count 50/4 is that 2, 3, 4, 6-inch repeats can be +produced, while with a 400-hook machine, only a 2-inch repeat can be made. + +There is no end to all the different weaves and the possible flower and +other pattern effects that can be made with the jacquard machine. For a +jacquard weaving plant the designing is the most important factor. + + * * * * * + +BOX LOOM WEAVES INCLUDING CREPES + +Box looms are required for weaves such as bayadères, checks, plaids (see +pages 63-65), bengalines, crêpes, etc., where two or more shuttles are +needed to bring out the effect. + +For the crêpes (crêpe de chine, crêpe georgette) only two shuttles are +needed, while plaids and other articles are made with more shuttles. + +To weave such articles the loom or the lay must be fitted with two or more +shuttle boxes on one or both sides of the loom. + + [Page 101] +If a manufacturer decides to change plain looms to box looms or buy new box +looms, it is wise to get 4 × 4 boxes, or four shuttle boxes on each side. + +With these looms about everything can be made that is called for in +box-loom effects, and as styles change, it is wise to be prepared. + + * * * * * + +MANUFACTURING COSTS + +The calculator first ascertains for the warp: What silk will be used, the +cost of the same, total number of ends in the warps for the amount of silk, +cost of throwing, dyeing, winding, warping, twisting, entering, and +weaving. + +Then the filling: Silk to be used, how much, cost of silk, cost of +throwing, dyeing, winding, doubling, quilling. + +After this determine the cost of weaving, cloth picking, finishing, factory +costs, and selling expenses. + +To-day most of the operations are paid by "piece work." + +The calculator must always take into consideration that poor raw silk or +poor dyeing make production slow, increase the cost of labor, and also that +more waste will be made. + +THROWING: Regular organ usually has 16 turns per inch in the first twist +and 14 turns to the inch in the second or reverse twist. Tram receives only +one twisting, about three turns to the inch. + +As the warp twisting-in is paid for at so much per hundred or thousand +ends, no matter how short or long the warp is, it is a saving to make the +warps as long as possible, especially in raw, black and staple colors. + +The calculator must not forget the cost of entering the first warp in a +harness, also the reeding. + +Most mills figure the cost of harness and reed in the expense accounts. If +plain and fancy goods are made an extra percentage should be figured for +the latter. + + [Page 102] +EXPENSES are figured differently, as almost every manufacturer has his own +system. If a mill makes only a few staple articles it is easy to put down +the cost of expenses. Say the mill has a production of 500,000 yards per +year, that the expense amounts to $35,000, the cost then is 7 cents per +yard. + +Manufacturers making all kinds of goods sometimes figure the expenses in +percentage, say, for plain goods, with a few picks, like gros-grain, peau +de soie, etc., 10 per cent. per yard. Taffeta, satin, etc., having more +picks, 12½ per cent. per yard, and fancy and jacquard goods, 15 per cent. +per yard. In the expense account we include all charges except raw silk, +throwing, dyeing and piece work. + +SELLING EXPENSES. Before a calculation is finished we must add the selling +expenses to the cost, also take account of the trade discount. Small mills +usually sell through a commission house, which pays all expenses and +charges a certain commission. Many large firms have their own selling end, +and some have their sales guaranteed by a commission house or a bank. + + [Page 103] +CALCULATIONS + +The prices marked in the following calculations are about as in "normal +times." Absolutely correct piece work prices cannot be given as different +localities have different prices. + +Calculations are usually made per 100 yards, 100-meter warps. + +Most goods gain from 3 to 7 per cent. in weaving. That is, if we make a +warp of 300 meters for a satin and we obtain 315 yards of cloth, this gain +should not be calculated, as usually there is no account taken of samples +used in the selling department. But the loss in length should be figured +and taken account of on goods with a heavy rib, such as moiré, faille, etc. + +DISP. 7--A 3 1/3-inch repeat can be obtained with a 600-hook jacquard +machine, seven repeats in a width of 23 inches. + +DISP. 8--Taffeta weave, but the two cotton picks must go in one hole. This +article can only be made with at least two shuttle boxes on each side. For +warping use a single and double cross reed, heavy cotton, no knots must be +tied. + +DISP. 10--This article must be warped with as much tension as possible and +no knots should be tied in. Silk is to be delivered on bobbins from +throwster. + +CANTON CREPE + +DISP. 9--Can also be made with Canton silk for filling and may be called +Canton crêpe. As Canton silk is much cheaper than Japan, the manufacturer +can use 4-thread Canton instead of 3-thread Japan for filling at a little +difference in cost, thus the cloth will be heavier, but Canton silk is not +as even and clean as Japan. + + [Page 104] + Article--TAFFETA GLACE Reed 70/3 + Disp. 1 Width 18¾ in. + Warp--Ital.

The manufacturers, appreciating the importance of this + factor, make great efforts and pecuniary sacrifices to elevate and + maintain the high standard of their industry.</p> + + <p>For instance, they support textile schools and lecture courses, where + young men can acquire a thorough technical education and equip themselves + for a career of usefulness, thereby serving their own interests and at + the same time furthering those of their chosen profession.</p> + +<!-- Page 6 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6"></a>[pg 6]</span> + + <p>This beneficial influence cannot fail to exert itself from the + standard of the higher employer down to that of the weaver, who would + naturally take more pains and interest in his work than if he were a mere + mechanical appendage to his loom in order to keep it in motion.</p> + + <p>Very little has been done in his country for technical education as + far as the silk industry is concerned, and it was on this special branch, + that prompted the author to offer in the present little work a treatise + on the theory of shaft weaving for broad silks and ribbons.</p> + + <p>It is divided into three principal parts:</p> + + <p class="i8"><b>1st.

We begin + with the first heddle on the left side of the shaft <i>nearest to the + warp-beam</i>, then take the first heddle of second shaft and so on until + all the shafts the set contains are used in rotation. This completes one + "draw," and this operation is repeated until all the warp-threads are + taken up.</p> + + <p>The method of making the shaft nearest to the warp-beam the first, is + almost universal with the silk business and is technically called + <i>drawing-in from back to front</i>.</p> + + <p>The opposite, or drawing in from <i>front to rear</i>, is used + occasionally, however, and in this case makes the first heddle on the + left hand side of the front shaft No. 1.</p> + + <p>The making out of the <i>Drawing-in Draft</i>, which must indicate the + arrangement or the rotation in which the warp-threads are drawn in, can + be done in various ways, of which we will mention the two most popular + methods. The first is by using common designing paper, and indicating the + rotation by dots. The horizonal rows of squares represent the shafts, the + vertical rows the warp-threads. Fig. <a href="#Fig_1">1</a> shows four + repeats of a straight draw on six harness marked out according to this + idea. A second method is to use paper ruled horizontally, the lines + representing the shafts; and to draw vertical lines +<!-- Page 9 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9"></a>[pg 9]</span> + for the warp-threads. + The latter are made to stop on the lines bearing the number of the shafts + into which the respective threads are to be drawn.

The arrangement of this interlacing is technically called + the <i>Weave</i>, and the variety in which the points of crossing can be + distributed is practically endless.</p> + + <p>It is principally the weave that lends to a fabric its character, + influenced, of course, by the material used, the size and tension of the + threads and the combination of the colors.</p> + + <p>The weaves are divided into three main classes: <i>the Foundation + weaves</i>. In the silk business they are known under the following + names:</p> + + <p class="i8"><b>The Taffeta Weave,</b></p> + <p class="i8"><b>The Serge Weave,</b></p> + <p class="i8"><b>The Satin Weave.</b></p> + + <p>In the foundation weaves each thread effects only one crossing in one + repeat of the weave, and the points of interlacing occur in a given + rotation. A repeat in the foundation weaves comprises the same number of + warp-threads as of +<!-- Page 16 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16"></a>[pg 16]</span> + <i>picks</i> or filling threads, and if + this number is 8, for instance, the weave is called an 8-shaft or an + 8-harness weave. In marking out a weave, the warp-threads are represented + by vertical lines, the filling by horizontal ones, or in each case by the + space between these lines. The places where a warp-thread lies over the + filling are marked with paint or simply with a cross. In a similar manner + we mark out the <i>chain draft</i>, which indicates the rotation in which + the shafts are raised.</p> + +<hr /> + +<!-- Page 17 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_17"></a>[pg 17]</span> + +<h3>THE TAFFETA WEAVE</h3> + +<a name="Fig_16"></a> +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/fig16.png" +alt="Fig. 16" /><br />Fig. 16 + </div> +<hr class="short"/> + +<a name="Fig_17"></a> +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/fig17.png" +alt="Fig. 17" /><br />Fig. 17 + </div> + +<!-- Page 18 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_18"></a>[pg 18]</span> + + <p>This is the simplest and oldest method of interlacing. The odd numbers + of warp-threads cross the even numbers after every pick; hence of two + warp-threads one will always go over the first pick and under the second, + and the other end under the first and over the second pick. Taffeta + cloth, therefore, has the same appearance on both sides, and in cotton + and wool weaving this weave is technically—and properly + indeed—called the <i>Plain Weave</i>. It has the smallest repeat, 2 + warp-threads and 2 picks, and the exchanging of warp and filling is the + most frequent possible. The cloth thus produced is firmer and stronger + than that obtained with any other weave.</p> + + <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_16">16</a> is a taffeta on 4 shafts straight draw, + the draft executed in the manner which we have already mentioned in + explaining the drawing-in drafts.</p> + + <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_17">17</a> on common designing paper, illustrates a + taffeta made on 8-harness, skip draw.</p> + + <p>Be it mentioned that the drawing-in draft and the chain draft will be + added throughout this work, the former over the weave to correspond with + the respective warp-threads, the latter to the right of the drawing-in + draft.</p> + +<hr /> + +<!-- Page 19 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_19"></a>[pg 19]</span> + +<h3>GROS DE TOURS WEAVES</h3> + +<div class="c"> +<table><tr><td class="b"> +<a name="Fig_18"></a> +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/fig18.png" +alt="Fig. 18" /><br />Fig. 18 + </div> + +</td><td> + +<a name="Fig_19"></a> +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/fig19.png" +alt="Fig. 19" /><br />Fig. 19 + </div> +</td></tr></table> +</div> + + <p>In this weave the working of the warp is the same as in taffeta, + except that instead of one pick, two or more are inserted in the same + shed.

The rotation of the interlacing is always + consecutive, that is it moves with each succeeding pick one thread to the + right (or to the left if the lines are to run in that direction). If warp + and filling have the same texture, that is the same number of threads in + a given space, the twill lines will form an angle of 45°; if the warp + stands closer than the filling, the incline will be steeper, and in the + opposite case the angle will approach more the horizontal.</p> + + <p>The weaves can be expressed in numbers, for instance: the 3-end twill + warp effect would be marked 2-1, which indicates that each warp-thread + goes over two and under one pick.</p> + + <p>Twill weaves are called <i>evensided</i> when the arrangement of "warp + up" and "filling up" are evenly balanced, and <i>unevensided</i> if + either warp or filling predominate on the face of the fabric; the latter + class is therefore subdivided in <i>Warp effects</i> and <i>Filling + effects</i>.</p>

THE WEAVE</h3> + + <p>If a given sample is to be reproduced or imitated, it must be + analyzed, and the following hints will greatly facilitate this operation + to the beginner.</p> + + <p>Cut the sample straight on two sides, and draw out a number of warp + and filling threads until there is a small fringe of perhaps ¼ of an + inch. This will allow a thread to be raised a little for examination, + without danger of its falling out of the fabric. In most cases it is + easier to dissect the filling side, that is, the interlacing of each + warp-thread in the threads of the filling system. With the help of the + microscope or counting glass we can easily determine over and under how + many picks that thread passes and the points of interlacing are + accordingly marked on designing paper. This being done for at least the + length of a repeat warpways, we take it out and examine the following + thread, and so on until the repeat filling-ways is complete. It is + advisable to ascertain how many picks ahead or back of the first examined + thread the next following one binds before taking the former out.</p> + + <p>A knowledge of the construction of weaves as explained in the + foregoing chapters will enable us to determine the weave of a simple + pattern by merely raising a warp-thread with a needle on any point of + interlacing and counting off how many picks apart from this place it + makes an impression.</p> + +<h3>2. LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE FABRIC</h3> + + <p>To the length and width which the finished product is to have, we must + add a certain allowance for shrinkage and <i>taking up</i> of warp during + weaving. It may differ from one to ten per cent., according to the + texture and weave of the fabric, and can be ascertained with sufficient + accuracy by stretching out and measuring a thread of warp and filling and + comparing their length with the respective measurements of the sample to + be reproduced.</p> + +<!-- Page 69 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_69"></a>[pg 69]</span> + +<h3>3. THE STOCK AND ITS DYE</h3> + + <p>Under this heading we must give the particulars as to nature, + <i>twist</i>, <i>quality</i> and <i>size</i> of the silk, and the + directions for the dyeing, whether <i>bright</i> or <i>souple</i>, and in + what colors, also whether to be weighted or not.</p> + + <p>The size is generally ascertained (in practical work) by comparing it + with other silk of which the exact count is known. Another method is to + count the number of cocoon threads which a thread of the sample contains, + adding to that 1/3 or ¼, according to the quality of the silk; the result + will be the count in deniers. To obtain it in drams, divide the latter + number by 17,3 as 1 dram is equal to 17,3 deniers.</p> + + <p>Suppose we find 20 cocoon ends in a thread of silk: add 1/3, and we + have 26-2/3 deniers, which, divided by 17,3 make 1,54 drams.</p> + + <p>As silk is always more or less uneven, it is safer to count the cocoon + fibers of several threads and to take average thereof.</p> + + <p>It requires the experience of years to judge with any degree of + certainty as to the origin and quality of silk, whether it be + "classical," "extra," "sublime," etc.</p> + + <p>There are machines wherewith to ascertain exactly the twist, that is, + the number of turns the silk has received in the throwing process.</p> + + <p>In the dyeing we distinguish two great classes, of which the names + themselves give a good definition. "Bright" has a brilliant luster, while + "souple" has more of a dull, subdued appearance. To find out whether the + silk has been weighted in the dyeing process, we may compare it with + other silk of which the exact conditions are known, or we may burn a + small quantity of it. Unweighted silk does not burn readily and leaves a + residue of white ashes, while heavy weighted silk burns lively, leaving + black, charry ashes.</p> + +<!-- Page 70 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_70"></a>[pg 70]</span> + +<h3>4. REED CALCULATION</h3> + + <p>We count the number of repeats of the weave in a given space, + generally ¼ or ½ inch, and multiply this with the number of threads one + repeat contains, which gives us the reduction of the warp.</p> + + <p>Suppose we had a taffeta, which, as we know, has only 2 ends to a + repeat, and counted 30 interlacings per ¼ inch on one pick; we would have + 60 threads per ¼ inch or 240 per one inch. In this case the reed may be + 80 by 3 or 60 by 4.</p> + + <p>Another instance: In an 8-shaft satin we count 10 warp-threads, which + bind on the same pick in ¼ inch; this, multiplied by 8, equals 80 ends + per ¼, or 320 per one inch; the reed will be an 80 with 4 in a dent or a + 64 by 5.</p> + + <p>In short, the number of the reed is found by dividing the number of + warp-threads that are to go in one dent, in the number of ends per inch. + Sometimes, the reed marks are clearly visible in a sample by holding the + latter against the light. Silk fabrics move with very few exceptions + within the limits of 50 and 90 dents per inch.</p> + + <p>To learn the full number of dents required for the width of the cloth, + simply multiply the dents per one inch with the width, adding a certain + allowance for shrinkage. The edges, of course, must also be taken in + consideration, and very often the dents that are taken up by the latter + are used to counter-balance that shrinkage.</p> + +<h3>5. DRAWING-IN THE WARP IN HARNESS AND REED</h3> + + <p>Here we must specify the number of dents that contain the same number + of ends, and whether the latter are single or double, also the number of + shafts and the method of drawing-in.</p> + +<!-- Page 71 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_71"></a>[pg 71]</span> + +<h3>6. WARPING TICKET</h3> + + <p>To make out the warping ticket, we need to ascertain the total number + of ends, whether leased single or double, and the arrangement of the + colors.</p> + +<h3>7. HARNESS ARRANGEMENT</h3> + + <p>This is governed by the number of ends to be drawn in and the + necessary shafts. If we have, for instance, 100 threads per inch to be + drawn on 4 shafts, we must give each shaft 25 heddles per inch.

To obtain these effects the ground is made of one weave, say + taffeta, while the figures or flowers are produced in another weave, say + satin.</p> + + <p>We enter the warp through a jacquard harness, and according to the + repeat use a 200, 400, 600, 900, 1200, etc., hook jacquard machine, which + means 200, 400, 600, 900 and 1200 ends per repeat.</p> + + <p>With a 600-hook machine a larger repeat can be produced than with a + 499-hook machine. For instance, if we want to make a cloth the figures of + which are to be two inches apart, it is a two-inch repeat, and use the + count of 50/4 or 200 ends per inch, we can use a 400-hook machine, 2 in. + x 200 ends. But we can make this cloth also on a 1200-hook machine, only + the repeat must be designed three times. The advantage of using a + 1200-hook machine with the count 50/4 is that 2, 3, 4, 6-inch repeats can + be produced, while with a 400-hook machine, only a 2-inch repeat can be + made.</p> + + <p>There is no end to all the different weaves and the possible flower + and other pattern effects that can be made with the jacquard machine. For + a jacquard weaving plant the designing is the most important factor.</p> + +<hr /> + +<h3>BOX LOOM WEAVES INCLUDING CREPES</h3> + + <p>Box looms are required for weaves such as bayadères, checks, plaids + (see pages 63-65), bengalines, crêpes, etc., where two or more shuttles + are needed to bring out the effect.</p> + + <p>For the crêpes (crêpe de chine, crêpe georgette) only two shuttles are + needed, while plaids and other articles are made with more shuttles.</p> + + <p>To weave such articles the loom or the lay must be fitted with two or + more shuttle boxes on one or both sides of the loom.</p> + +<!-- Page 101 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_101"></a>[pg 101]</span> + + <p>If a manufacturer decides to change plain looms to box looms or buy + new box looms, it is wise to get 4 × 4 boxes, or four shuttle boxes on + each side.</p> + + <p>With these looms about everything can be made that is called for in + box-loom effects, and as styles change, it is wise to be prepared.</p> + +<hr /> + +<h3>MANUFACTURING COSTS</h3> + + <p>The calculator first ascertains for the warp: What silk will be used, + the cost of the same, total number of ends in the warps for the amount of + silk, cost of throwing, dyeing, winding, warping, twisting, entering, and + weaving.</p> + + <p>Then the filling: Silk to be used, how much, cost of silk, cost of + throwing, dyeing, winding, doubling, quilling.</p> + + <p>After this determine the cost of weaving, cloth picking, finishing, + factory costs, and selling expenses.</p> + + <p>To-day most of the operations are paid by "piece work."</p> + + <p>The calculator must always take into consideration that poor raw silk + or poor dyeing make production slow, increase the cost of labor, and also + that more waste will be made.</p> + + <p>THROWING: Regular organ usually has 16 turns per inch in the first + twist and 14 turns to the inch in the second or reverse twist. Tram + receives only one twisting, about three turns to the inch.</p> + + <p>As the warp twisting-in is paid for at so much per hundred or thousand + ends, no matter how short or long the warp is, it is a saving to make the + warps as long as possible, especially in raw, black and staple + colors.</p> + + <p>The calculator must not forget the cost of entering the first warp in + a harness, also the reeding.</p> + + <p>Most mills figure the cost of harness and reed in the expense + accounts. If plain and fancy goods are made an extra percentage should be + figured for the latter.</p> + +<!-- Page 102 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_102"></a>[pg 102]</span> + + <p>EXPENSES are figured differently, as almost every manufacturer has his + own system. If a mill makes only a few staple articles it is easy to put + down the cost of expenses. Say the mill has a production of 500,000 yards + per year, that the expense amounts to $35,000, the cost then is 7 cents + per yard.</p> + + <p>Manufacturers making all kinds of goods sometimes figure the expenses + in percentage, say, for plain goods, with a few picks, like gros-grain, + peau de soie, etc., 10 per cent. per yard. Taffeta, satin, etc., having + more picks, 12½ per cent. per yard, and fancy and jacquard goods, 15 per + cent. per yard. In the expense account we include all charges except raw + silk, throwing, dyeing and piece work.</p> + + <p>SELLING EXPENSES. Before a calculation is finished we must add the + selling expenses to the cost, also take account of the trade discount. + Small mills usually sell through a commission house, which pays all + expenses and charges a certain commission.

It may indeed +be proud of this position, to which that enterprising spirit and untiring +energy peculiar to our nation, combined with our great technical and +natural resources, has brought it. + +That we are, on the other hand, not yet at the height of perfection we are +also compelled to acknowledge, but if we consider the short space of time +that the American industry has required for its development, as compared to +the decades, almost centuries, to which some of the great European silk +centers can look back, the fact is neither surprising nor discouraging. + +While it must not be our aim to imitate or copy their ways, inasmuch as out +conditions and circumstances are quite different from theirs, we may still +profitably study their methods in order to overcome our deficiencies. + +The greatest advantage which our competitors derive from such a long +existence consists in having at their disposal a force of skilful, trained +help. The manufacturers, appreciating the importance of this factor, make +great efforts and pecuniary sacrifices to elevate and maintain the high +standard of their industry. + +For instance, they support textile schools and lecture courses, where young +men can acquire a thorough technical education and equip themselves for a +career of usefulness, thereby serving their own interests and at the same +time furthering those of their chosen profession. + + [Page 6] +This beneficial influence cannot fail to exert itself from the standard of +the higher employer down to that of the weaver, who would naturally take +more pains and interest in his work than if he were a mere mechanical +appendage to his loom in order to keep it in motion. + +Very little has been done in his country for technical education as far as +the silk industry is concerned, and it was on this special branch, that +prompted the author to offer in the present little work a treatise on the +theory of shaft weaving for broad silks and ribbons. + +It is divided into three principal parts: + + #1st. Drawing-in the warp in the harness. + 2nd. The weaves and their application. + 3rd. Decomposition or analysis of the cloth.# + +To the foregoing there have been added in the revised and enlarged edition +several additional parts covering the following: JACQUARD WEAVES, BOX LOOM +WEAVES, including CREPES, and COST CALCULATIONS for plain and fancy weaves. + +The subject while condensed, is made as clear and comprehensible as +possible, and to many desirous of increasing their knowledge in this +direction, this should prove a valuable help. + +The author, through the medium of this work, hopes to win the approval and +encouragement of the manufacturers, and will feel amply repaid should his +efforts tend to develop a deeper interest in the "Queen of Textiles." + + * * * * * + + [Page 7] +THEORY OF SILK WEAVING + +DRAWING-IN + +With this term we designate the operation preceding the weaving, by which +all the warp-threads are drawn through the heddles of the harness. + +The order in which this is done varies according to the weave and the +nature of the fabric to be produced; so we distinguish: + + #Straight draws, + Skip draws, + Point draws, + Section draws.# + + * * * * * + +STRAIGHT DRAWS + +[Illustration: Fig. 1] + + * * * * + + [Page 8] +[Illustration: Fig. 2] + +These form the simplest and most common method of drawing-in. We begin with +the first heddle on the left side of the shaft _nearest to the warp-beam_, +then take the first heddle of second shaft and so on until all the shafts +the set contains are used in rotation. This completes one "draw," and this +operation is repeated until all the warp-threads are taken up. + +The method of making the shaft nearest to the warp-beam the first, is +almost universal with the silk business and is technically called +_drawing-in from back to front_. + +The opposite, or drawing in from _front to rear_, is used occasionally, +however, and in this case makes the first heddle on the left hand side of +the front shaft No. 1. + +The making out of the _Drawing-in Draft_, which must indicate the +arrangement or the rotation in which the warp-threads are drawn in, can be +done in various ways, of which we will mention the two most popular +methods. The first is by using common designing paper, and indicating the +rotation by dots. The horizonal rows of squares represent the shafts, the +vertical rows the warp-threads. Fig. 1 shows four repeats of a straight +draw on six harness marked out according to this idea. A second method is +to use paper ruled horizontally, the lines representing the shafts; and to +draw vertical lines for the warp-threads. The latter are made to stop on + [Page 9] +the lines bearing the number of the shafts into which the respective +threads are to be drawn. Fig. 2 is such a draft, illustrating six repeats +of a draw on four harness from "Front to Rear." + + * * * * * + +SKIP DRAWS + +[Illustration: Fig. 3] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 4] + +The draws coming under this heading are used very extensively in silk +weaving, especially for fabrics requiring a heavy warp and a large number +of shafts. Enter first the odd and then the even shafts. An 8 harness draw +of this kind, of which three repeats are shown in Fig. 3, runs as follows: +1, 3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8. + +Fig. 4 is a 12 harness draw of the same class. + + * * * * * + +POINT DRAWS + +[Illustration: Fig. 5] + + * * * * + + [Page 10] +[Illustration: Fig. 6] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 7] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 8] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 9] + + [Page 11] +Point draws are a combination of a regular straight draw from back to front +and one from front to back, the first and the last shafts only being used +once, while the rest receive two ends each in one repeat of the draw. Fig. +5 illustrates a regular point draw in 2 repeats on 10 shafts. It will be +seen that 14 ends make a repeat; in fact, the number of warp-threads +required for one draw will always be double the number of harness less 2, +hence a 12 harness regular point draw will require 22 warp-threads for a +repeat. + +The drawing-in draft illustrated in Fig. 6 is a slight variation of the +regular point draw; it consists, as will be seen, of a draw from back to +front, and also a full one from front to back, there by causing a _double +point_. + +Another change from the regular point draw is illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8; +this class may be called _Broken point draws_, because a new draw is begun +before the other one is complete. Fig. 9 also comes in this class and +represents a _zigzag draw_ on 10 harness. + +The drawing-in drafts which we have described under the head of "Point +draws," are used mostly to obtain the various pointed and zigzag effects. + + * * * * * + +SECTION DRAWS + +[Illustration: Fig. 10] + + * * * * + + [Page 12] +[Illustration: Fig. 11] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 12] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 13] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 14] + + * * * * + + [Page 13] +[Illustration: Fig. 15] + +This division of drawing-in drafts is used extensively in silk +manufacturing; for instance, in all fabrics having a ground warp and a +binder warp, also in double-face goods, or where two different weaves are +combined in one effect. + +One or more threads are drawn on the first section, then one or more on a +second and third, if the harness is divided in so many sets. + +The following examples will illustrate the principle of these draws. + +In Fig. 10, shafts 1, 2, 3, 4 from the first set, shafts 5 and 6 the +second, 8 threads are drawn straight on the first, then 2 on the second +section. + +Fig. 11, first set shafts 1 to 6 inclusive, second set shafts 7 and 8. + +Fig. 12 is drawn end and end on two sections having 8 shafts each. + +Figs. 13, 14 and 15, while not strictly belonging to the class of section +draws, may, however, be considered under this heading. The idea is to draw +a certain number of ends in one part of the harness and another group in +another part, be it straight, point or skip, which will cause the effect on +the cloth to be accordingly transposed or broken up. + + [Page 15] + * * * * * + +THE WEAVES AND THEIR CONSTRUCTION + +In any woven fabric we distinguish two systems of threads, the _Warp or +Chain_, running lengthways in the cloth, and the _Filling or Weft_, +crossing the former at right angles. + +This crossing or interlacing consists of every individual warp-thread being +placed alternately under and over one or more threads of the filling +system. The arrangement of this interlacing is technically called the +_Weave_, and the variety in which the points of crossing can be distributed +is practically endless. + +It is principally the weave that lends to a fabric its character, +influenced, of course, by the material used, the size and tension of the +threads and the combination of the colors. + +The weaves are divided into three main classes: _the Foundation weaves_. In +the silk business they are known under the following names: + + #The Taffeta Weave, + The Serge Weave, + The Satin Weave.# + +In the foundation weaves each thread effects only one crossing in one +repeat of the weave, and the points of interlacing occur in a given +rotation. A repeat in the foundation weaves comprises the same number of +warp-threads as of _picks_ or filling threads, and if this number is 8, for + [Page 16] +instance, the weave is called an 8-shaft or an 8-harness weave. In marking +out a weave, the warp-threads are represented by vertical lines, the +filling by horizontal ones, or in each case by the space between these +lines. The places where a warp-thread lies over the filling are marked with +paint or simply with a cross. In a similar manner we mark out the _chain +draft_, which indicates the rotation in which the shafts are raised. + + * * * * * + + [Page 17] +THE TAFFETA WEAVE + +[Illustration: Fig. 16] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 17] + + [Page 18] +This is the simplest and oldest method of interlacing. The odd numbers of +warp-threads cross the even numbers after every pick; hence of two +warp-threads one will always go over the first pick and under the second, +and the other end under the first and over the second pick. Taffeta cloth, +therefore, has the same appearance on both sides, and in cotton and wool +weaving this weave is technically--and properly indeed--called the _Plain +Weave_. It has the smallest repeat, 2 warp-threads and 2 picks, and the +exchanging of warp and filling is the most frequent possible. The cloth +thus produced is firmer and stronger than that obtained with any other +weave. + +Fig. 16 is a taffeta on 4 shafts straight draw, the draft executed in the +manner which we have already mentioned in explaining the drawing-in drafts. + +Fig. 17 on common designing paper, illustrates a taffeta made on 8-harness, +skip draw. + +Be it mentioned that the drawing-in draft and the chain draft will be added +throughout this work, the former over the weave to correspond with the +respective warp-threads, the latter to the right of the drawing-in draft. + + * * * * * + + [Page 19] +GROS DE TOURS WEAVES + +[Illustration: Fig. 18] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 19] + +In this weave the working of the warp is the same as in taffeta, except +that instead of one pick, two or more are inserted in the same shed. It is +mostly used in selvedges, where it serves to give more firmness to the edge +of an otherwise loosely woven cloth, and prevents the weaving ahead of the +edge in a tight weave. Gros de Tours is sometimes used, especially when +cotton or wool filling is employed, with a view to lay two picks nicely +side by side, whereas a thread entered two ply with the taffeta weave will +always receive some twist, which may disturb the perfect evenness of the +fabric. + +Fig. 18 is a Gros de Tours with two picks on four harness straight through. + +Fig. 19 illustrates this weave with three picks drawn end and end on two +sections of four shafts each. + + * * * * * + + [Page 20] +SERGE or TWILL WEAVES + +While the taffeta weave produces either an entirely smooth fabric, or one +with a distinct transverse rib as in gros-grain, the twill weave forms +diagonal lines on the cloth, running either from left to right or from +right to left. + +To make a twill, not less than three ends and three picks are required, of +which each thread floats over two of the other system and interlaces with +the third. The rotation of the interlacing is always consecutive, that is +it moves with each succeeding pick one thread to the right (or to the left +if the lines are to run in that direction). If warp and filling have the +same texture, that is the same number of threads in a given space, the +twill lines will form an angle of 45°; if the warp stands closer than the +filling, the incline will be steeper, and in the opposite case the angle +will approach more the horizontal. + +The weaves can be expressed in numbers, for instance: the 3-end twill warp +effect would be marked 2-1, which indicates that each warp-thread goes over +two and under one pick. + +Twill weaves are called _evensided_ when the arrangement of "warp up" and +"filling up" are evenly balanced, and _unevensided_ if either warp or +filling predominate on the face of the fabric; the latter class is +therefore subdivided in _Warp effects_ and _Filling effects_. + +In the following a number of serge weaves are illustrated, the French +designations being added in some cases, as they are still extensively used +in the trade. + + [Page 21] + * * * * * + +FILLING EFFECTS + +_Satin de Lyon,_ 2-1. + +On 6 harness straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 20] + + * * * * + +_Levantine,_ 3-1<h/5> + +On 8 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 21] + + * * * * + + [Page 22] +_Polonaise,_ 5-1 + +On 12 harness skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 22] + + * * * * + +_Serge grosse côte,_ 7-1 + +On 8 shafts straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 23] + + * * * * + + [Page 23] +_Serge remaine,_ 6-2 + +On 8 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 24] + + * * * * + +_Serge,_ 5-1, 1-1. + +On 8 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 25] + + * * * * + + [Page 24] +_Serge,_ 4-2, 1-1, 1-1. + +On 10 harness straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 26] + + * * * * + +_Serge,_ 7-1, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1. + +On 16 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 27] + + * * * * * + + [Page 25] +WARP EFFECTS + +_Levantine,_ 3-1. + +On 4 shafts straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 28] + + * * * * + +_Serge,_ 5-1, 1-1. + +On 8 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 29] + + * * * * * + + [Page 26] +EVENSIDED TWILLS + +_Surah,_ 2-2 + +On 4 shafts straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 30] + + * * * * + +_Croise,_ 3-3, 2-2, 1-1. + +On 12 shafts straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 31] + + * * * * + + [Page 27] +_Serge,_ 7-7, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1 + +On 20 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 32] + + * * * * * + +POINTED TWILLS + +in the direction of the filling and also of the warp. + +[Illustration: Fig. 33] + +On 4 shafts point draw, weave 3-1. + + * * * * + + [Page 28] +[Illustration: Fig. 34] + + On 6 shafts point draw, drawn as follows: + + Eighteen ends from back to front and 4 ends from front to rear, weave + 5-1. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 35] + +On 8 shafts pointed draw, weave 5-1, 1-1. + + * * * * + + [Page 29] +[Illustration: Fig. 36] + +On 10 shafts, with weave 3-3, drawn as follows: + + 7 threads from back to front. + 3 " " front to rear. + 6 " " back to front. + 2 " " front to rear. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 37] + +On 6 shafts straight draw, pointed weave 5-1. + + * * * * + + [Page 30] +[Illustration: Fig. 38] + +On 8 shafts straight through, pointed weave 5-1, 1-1. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 39] + +_Broken pointed twill_, on 8 harness. + + * * * * + + [Page 31] +[Illustration: Fig. 40] + +On 6 shafts point draw, pointed weave 5-1. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 41] + +On 8 shafts point draw, pointed weave 5-1, 1-1. + + * * * * + + [Page 32] +[Illustration: Fig. 42] + +_Fancy twill_, on 16 shafts straight draw. + + * * * * * + +SATIN WEAVES + +The distinct diagonal lines which characterize the class of weaves +explained in the previous chapter are absent in the satin weaves; and while +the interlacing in the former is done in a strictly consecutive order, we +endeavor to scatter the points of stitching in the latter as much as +possible, in order to create an entirely smooth and brilliant surface on + [Page 33] +the cloth. + +In all satins the number of ends in a repeat is the same in warp and +filling. + +The lowest repeat of a regular satin comprises five threads of each system, +and the interlacing is done in the following order: + + The 1st pick with the 1st warp-thread + " 2d " " 3d " + " 3d " " 5th " + " 4th " " 2d " + " 5th " " 4th " + +Fig. 43 illustrates this weave.

From the Twills + +One variety is obtained by interlacing the warp-threads alternately one or +more picks behind, and then a number of picks ahead of their respective +neighbors; so the complete arrangement of the points of binding in a repeat +will generally form two parallel diagonal lines.

The threads +going into the composition of these effects exchange continually from +taffeta interlacing to floating over a certain number of threads, and must +be introduced either in warp or filling close enough to make the floats +cover up the taffeta work entirely, and thus enable the material used to +show up with the full brilliancy it possesses. + +Cannele effects can be produced in two distinct ways. One is to let every +individual thread work alternately taffeta and float, while in the other +method one thread weaves always taffeta, and a second thread is used for +the cannele exclusively. These latter threads must come from a separate +warp, which is introduced to embellish the ground or taffeta part of the +fabric. + +The floating threads can either stitch all on one pick and so form a +continuous cut line, or be divided in groups, of which one will bind in the +middle of the floats of the other group.

The color on one side is +generally different from the other, and so may the interlacing be of a +different nature on face and back. In the latter case great care must be +exercised not to allow the weave on one side to disturb the one on the +other, and as a rule the points of interlacing of the first warp or filling +system are placed as much as possible in the middle of the floats of the +second. This will prevent either color or weave to be seen on the opposite +side, as the floats of one side will naturally lay themselves over the +binders of the other. The number of ends in a repeat of the two weaves must +either be alike or one a multiple of the other. + +Warp Effects + +_Levantine_ on 8 shafts straight draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 74] + + * * * * + + [Page 56] +_Serge_ 6-2 on 2 sections of 8 shafts each. + +[Illustration: Fig. 75] + + * * * * + +8 _shaft satin_ on 2 sections of 8 harness each. + +[Illustration: Fig. 76] + + * * * * + + [Page 57] +12 _shaft satin_ on 2 sections of 12 shafts each. + +[Illustration: Fig. 77] + + * * * * + +_Cannele_ of 8 picks on 2 sections of 4 shafts each. + +[Illustration: Fig. 78] + + * * * * * + + [Page 58] +FILLING EFFECTS + +_Serge_ 5-1 on 6 harness straight draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 79] + + * * * * + +10 _harness satin_ on 10 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 80] + + * * * * + + [Page 59] +_Repp_ on 2 sections of 4 shafts each, 8 threads per section. + +[Illustration: Fig. 81] + + * * * * + + [Page 60] +PEKINS + +With this name we designate fabrics in which stripes of a different +interlacing run in the direction of the warp. In combining these weaves it +is advantageous to have them contrast distinctly, for instance, a short +weave such as taffeta or Gros de Tours, with a longer and looser one such +as satin, sergé or cannele, also changes from warp to filling effects. Care +must be taken to arrange the joining of the two weaves so that the last +thread of one weave will cross the first thread of the other. This will +prevent the threads from either stripe to slide over into the other, and so +make a clean cut line. + +#Pekin.# A stripe of + + 2 dents of 8 ends each, 8 shaft Satin, on 8 shafts straight draw. + 12 " 2 " Taffeta " 4 " " " + +[Illustration: Fig. 82] + + * * * * + + [Page 61] +#Pekin#.

THE WEAVE + +If a given sample is to be reproduced or imitated, it must be analyzed, and +the following hints will greatly facilitate this operation to the beginner. + +Cut the sample straight on two sides, and draw out a number of warp and +filling threads until there is a small fringe of perhaps ¼ of an inch. This +will allow a thread to be raised a little for examination, without danger +of its falling out of the fabric. In most cases it is easier to dissect the +filling side, that is, the interlacing of each warp-thread in the threads +of the filling system. With the help of the microscope or counting glass we +can easily determine over and under how many picks that thread passes and +the points of interlacing are accordingly marked on designing paper. This +being done for at least the length of a repeat warpways, we take it out and +examine the following thread, and so on until the repeat filling-ways is +complete. It is advisable to ascertain how many picks ahead or back of the +first examined thread the next following one binds before taking the former +out. + +A knowledge of the construction of weaves as explained in the foregoing +chapters will enable us to determine the weave of a simple pattern by +merely raising a warp-thread with a needle on any point of interlacing and +counting off how many picks apart from this place it makes an impression. + +2. LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE FABRIC + +To the length and width which the finished product is to have, we must add +a certain allowance for shrinkage and _taking up_ of warp during weaving. +It may differ from one to ten per cent., according to the texture and weave +of the fabric, and can be ascertained with sufficient accuracy by +stretching out and measuring a thread of warp and filling and comparing +their length with the respective measurements of the sample to be +reproduced. + + [Page 69] +3. THE STOCK AND ITS DYE + +Under this heading we must give the particulars as to nature, _twist_, +_quality_ and _size_ of the silk, and the directions for the dyeing, +whether _bright_ or _souple_, and in what colors, also whether to be +weighted or not. + +The size is generally ascertained (in practical work) by comparing it with +other silk of which the exact count is known. Another method is to count +the number of cocoon threads which a thread of the sample contains, adding +to that 1/3 or ¼, according to the quality of the silk; the result will be +the count in deniers. To obtain it in drams, divide the latter number by +17,3 as 1 dram is equal to 17,3 deniers. + +Suppose we find 20 cocoon ends in a thread of silk: add 1/3, and we have +26-2/3 deniers, which, divided by 17,3 make 1,54 drams. + +As silk is always more or less uneven, it is safer to count the cocoon +fibers of several threads and to take average thereof. + +It requires the experience of years to judge with any degree of certainty +as to the origin and quality of silk, whether it be "classical," "extra," +"sublime," etc. + +There are machines wherewith to ascertain exactly the twist, that is, the +number of turns the silk has received in the throwing process. + +In the dyeing we distinguish two great classes, of which the names +themselves give a good definition. "Bright" has a brilliant luster, while +"souple" has more of a dull, subdued appearance. To find out whether the +silk has been weighted in the dyeing process, we may compare it with other +silk of which the exact conditions are known, or we may burn a small +quantity of it. Unweighted silk does not burn readily and leaves a residue +of white ashes, while heavy weighted silk burns lively, leaving black, +charry ashes. + + [Page 70] +4. REED CALCULATION + +We count the number of repeats of the weave in a given space, generally ¼ +or ½ inch, and multiply this with the number of threads one repeat +contains, which gives us the reduction of the warp. + +Suppose we had a taffeta, which, as we know, has only 2 ends to a repeat, +and counted 30 interlacings per ¼ inch on one pick; we would have 60 +threads per ¼ inch or 240 per one inch. In this case the reed may be 80 by +3 or 60 by 4. + +Another instance: In an 8-shaft satin we count 10 warp-threads, which bind +on the same pick in ¼ inch; this, multiplied by 8, equals 80 ends per ¼, or +320 per one inch; the reed will be an 80 with 4 in a dent or a 64 by 5. + +In short, the number of the reed is found by dividing the number of +warp-threads that are to go in one dent, in the number of ends per inch. +Sometimes, the reed marks are clearly visible in a sample by holding the +latter against the light. Silk fabrics move with very few exceptions within +the limits of 50 and 90 dents per inch. + +To learn the full number of dents required for the width of the cloth, +simply multiply the dents per one inch with the width, adding a certain +allowance for shrinkage. The edges, of course, must also be taken in +consideration, and very often the dents that are taken up by the latter are +used to counter-balance that shrinkage. + +5. DRAWING-IN THE WARP IN HARNESS AND REED + +Here we must specify the number of dents that contain the same number of +ends, and whether the latter are single or double, also the number of +shafts and the method of drawing-in. + + [Page 71] +6. WARPING TICKET + +To make out the warping ticket, we need to ascertain the total number of +ends, whether leased single or double, and the arrangement of the colors. + +7. HARNESS ARRANGEMENT + +This is governed by the number of ends to be drawn in and the necessary +shafts. If we have, for instance, 100 threads per inch to be drawn on 4 +shafts, we must give each shaft 25 heddles per inch. There are generally +between 25 and 45 heddles per inch on one shaft. + +8. REDUCTION OF THE FILLING + +Here we state the number of picks per inch, give directions as to doubling, +if such is necessary, and if more than one color or shuttle is used, the +rotation thereof. + +9. CALCULATION OF WARP AND FILLING + +The system adopted in this country for specifying the size of silk is based +on the weight in drams (avoirdupois) of a skein containing 1000 yards. A +skein, thus weighing 5 drams, is technically called 5-dram silk. The number +of yards of 1-dram silk to a pound must accordingly be 256000. The formulas +for figuring the amount of silk required for a piece of cloth are as +follows: + +Warp Calculation + + _Multiply_: Number of ends×length×count + ----------------------------- + _Divide by_: 1000 yards×256 drams + + [Page 72] +Filling Calculation + + _Multiply:_ Picks×xply×width×length of piece×count + -------------------------------------- = lbs. + _Divide by:_ 1000 yards×256 drams + + The result in both cases will be in pounds. + +The system of grading the silk which is in vogue in Europe, and which is +employed by a number of mills on this side, is as follows: + + 1 skein of 500 meters, weighing 0,05 grams = 1 denier international + or 1 " 476 " " 0,053 " = 1 " Turin system + or 1 " 476 " " 0,051 " = 1 " Milan " + +The warp calculation, taking the international denier, would run: + + ends in warp×length×denier×0,05 gram + -------------------------------------- + _divided by:_ 500 meters + + for the filling: Picks per meter×xply×width×denier×0,05 gram + --------------------------------------------- + _divided by:_ 500 meters + + Result in metric weight, kilograms and grams. + +10. FINISHING + +Give directions as to the process of finishing to which the goods are to be +subjected, whether to be pressed, calendered, sized, moiréd, etc. + +11. CALCULATION OF COST + +If all the foregoing conditions are ascertained, and a sample or a piece of +the fabric executed, it remains to the manufacturer to determine the exact +figure at which he can produce the article. That this must be done with +great accuracy is naturally of the utmost importance, and the calculator + [Page 73] +must know in the first place the raw stock prices, and also be acquainted +with the details of the manufacturing process and the rates of wages paid +therein. As a rule, the manufacturer establishes a scale of prices covering +all the items of labor cost, mill expenses, etc., and uses this as a basis +for his calculations. + +A rule or formula for this operation cannot very well be given, as the +methods vary in almost every establishment, each choosing the one best +adapted to its ideas or dictates of circumstances and conditions. + + [Page 75] +DISPOSITION 1 + +_Taffeta glacé_ + +[Illustration: Fig. 89] + + [Page 76] + #Length and Width#--One piece 100 yards long, 18¾ inches wide. + + #Stock and Dye#--_Warp._--Ital.

To +obtain these effects the ground is made of one weave, say taffeta, while +the figures or flowers are produced in another weave, say satin. + +We enter the warp through a jacquard harness, and according to the repeat +use a 200, 400, 600, 900, 1200, etc., hook jacquard machine, which means +200, 400, 600, 900 and 1200 ends per repeat. + +With a 600-hook machine a larger repeat can be produced than with a +499-hook machine. For instance, if we want to make a cloth the figures of +which are to be two inches apart, it is a two-inch repeat, and use the +count of 50/4 or 200 ends per inch, we can use a 400-hook machine, 2 in. x +200 ends. But we can make this cloth also on a 1200-hook machine, only the +repeat must be designed three times. The advantage of using a 1200-hook +machine with the count 50/4 is that 2, 3, 4, 6-inch repeats can be +produced, while with a 400-hook machine, only a 2-inch repeat can be made. + +There is no end to all the different weaves and the possible flower and +other pattern effects that can be made with the jacquard machine. For a +jacquard weaving plant the designing is the most important factor. + + * * * * * + +BOX LOOM WEAVES INCLUDING CREPES + +Box looms are required for weaves such as bayadères, checks, plaids (see +pages 63-65), bengalines, crêpes, etc., where two or more shuttles are +needed to bring out the effect. + +For the crêpes (crêpe de chine, crêpe georgette) only two shuttles are +needed, while plaids and other articles are made with more shuttles. + +To weave such articles the loom or the lay must be fitted with two or more +shuttle boxes on one or both sides of the loom. + + [Page 101] +If a manufacturer decides to change plain looms to box looms or buy new box +looms, it is wise to get 4 × 4 boxes, or four shuttle boxes on each side. + +With these looms about everything can be made that is called for in +box-loom effects, and as styles change, it is wise to be prepared. + + * * * * * + +MANUFACTURING COSTS + +The calculator first ascertains for the warp: What silk will be used, the +cost of the same, total number of ends in the warps for the amount of silk, +cost of throwing, dyeing, winding, warping, twisting, entering, and +weaving. + +Then the filling: Silk to be used, how much, cost of silk, cost of +throwing, dyeing, winding, doubling, quilling. + +After this determine the cost of weaving, cloth picking, finishing, factory +costs, and selling expenses. + +To-day most of the operations are paid by "piece work." + +The calculator must always take into consideration that poor raw silk or +poor dyeing make production slow, increase the cost of labor, and also that +more waste will be made. + +THROWING: Regular organ usually has 16 turns per inch in the first twist +and 14 turns to the inch in the second or reverse twist. Tram receives only +one twisting, about three turns to the inch. + +As the warp twisting-in is paid for at so much per hundred or thousand +ends, no matter how short or long the warp is, it is a saving to make the +warps as long as possible, especially in raw, black and staple colors. + +The calculator must not forget the cost of entering the first warp in a +harness, also the reeding. + +Most mills figure the cost of harness and reed in the expense accounts. If +plain and fancy goods are made an extra percentage should be figured for +the latter. + + [Page 102] +EXPENSES are figured differently, as almost every manufacturer has his own +system. If a mill makes only a few staple articles it is easy to put down +the cost of expenses. Say the mill has a production of 500,000 yards per +year, that the expense amounts to $35,000, the cost then is 7 cents per +yard. + +Manufacturers making all kinds of goods sometimes figure the expenses in +percentage, say, for plain goods, with a few picks, like gros-grain, peau +de soie, etc., 10 per cent. per yard. Taffeta, satin, etc., having more +picks, 12½ per cent. per yard, and fancy and jacquard goods, 15 per cent. +per yard. In the expense account we include all charges except raw silk, +throwing, dyeing and piece work. + +SELLING EXPENSES. Before a calculation is finished we must add the selling +expenses to the cost, also take account of the trade discount. Small mills +usually sell through a commission house, which pays all expenses and +charges a certain commission. Many large firms have their own selling end, +and some have their sales guaranteed by a commission house or a bank. + + [Page 103] +CALCULATIONS + +The prices marked in the following calculations are about as in "normal +times." Absolutely correct piece work prices cannot be given as different +localities have different prices. + +Calculations are usually made per 100 yards, 100-meter warps. + +Most goods gain from 3 to 7 per cent. in weaving. That is, if we make a +warp of 300 meters for a satin and we obtain 315 yards of cloth, this gain +should not be calculated, as usually there is no account taken of samples +used in the selling department. But the loss in length should be figured +and taken account of on goods with a heavy rib, such as moiré, faille, etc. + +DISP. 7--A 3 1/3-inch repeat can be obtained with a 600-hook jacquard +machine, seven repeats in a width of 23 inches. + +DISP. 8--Taffeta weave, but the two cotton picks must go in one hole. This +article can only be made with at least two shuttle boxes on each side. For +warping use a single and double cross reed, heavy cotton, no knots must be +tied. + +DISP. 10--This article must be warped with as much tension as possible and +no knots should be tied in. Silk is to be delivered on bobbins from +throwster. + +CANTON CREPE + +DISP. 9--Can also be made with Canton silk for filling and may be called +Canton crêpe. As Canton silk is much cheaper than Japan, the manufacturer +can use 4-thread Canton instead of 3-thread Japan for filling at a little +difference in cost, thus the cloth will be heavier, but Canton silk is not +as even and clean as Japan. + + [Page 104] + Article--TAFFETA GLACE Reed 70/3 + Disp. 1 Width 18¾ in. + Warp--Ital.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.

It may indeed + be proud of this position, to which that enterprising spirit and untiring + energy peculiar to our nation, combined with our great technical and + natural resources, has brought it.</p> + + <p>That we are, on the other hand, not yet at the height of perfection we + are also compelled to acknowledge, but if we consider the short space of + time that the American industry has required for its development, as + compared to the decades, almost centuries, to which some of the great + European silk centers can look back, the fact is neither surprising nor + discouraging.</p> + + <p>While it must not be our aim to imitate or copy their ways, inasmuch + as out conditions and circumstances are quite different from theirs, we + may still profitably study their methods in order to overcome our + deficiencies.</p> + + <p>The greatest advantage which our competitors derive from such a long + existence consists in having at their disposal a force of skilful, + trained help. The manufacturers, appreciating the importance of this + factor, make great efforts and pecuniary sacrifices to elevate and + maintain the high standard of their industry.</p> + + <p>For instance, they support textile schools and lecture courses, where + young men can acquire a thorough technical education and equip themselves + for a career of usefulness, thereby serving their own interests and at + the same time furthering those of their chosen profession.</p> + +<!-- Page 6 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6"></a>[pg 6]</span> + + <p>This beneficial influence cannot fail to exert itself from the + standard of the higher employer down to that of the weaver, who would + naturally take more pains and interest in his work than if he were a mere + mechanical appendage to his loom in order to keep it in motion.</p> + + <p>Very little has been done in his country for technical education as + far as the silk industry is concerned, and it was on this special branch, + that prompted the author to offer in the present little work a treatise + on the theory of shaft weaving for broad silks and ribbons.</p> + + <p>It is divided into three principal parts:</p> + + <p class="i8"><b>1st. Drawing-in the warp in the harness.</b></p> + <p class="i8"><b>2nd. The weaves and their application.</b></p> + <p class="i8"><b>3rd.

We begin + with the first heddle on the left side of the shaft <i>nearest to the + warp-beam</i>, then take the first heddle of second shaft and so on until + all the shafts the set contains are used in rotation. This completes one + "draw," and this operation is repeated until all the warp-threads are + taken up.</p> + + <p>The method of making the shaft nearest to the warp-beam the first, is + almost universal with the silk business and is technically called + <i>drawing-in from back to front</i>.</p> + + <p>The opposite, or drawing in from <i>front to rear</i>, is used + occasionally, however, and in this case makes the first heddle on the + left hand side of the front shaft No. 1.</p> + + <p>The making out of the <i>Drawing-in Draft</i>, which must indicate the + arrangement or the rotation in which the warp-threads are drawn in, can + be done in various ways, of which we will mention the two most popular + methods. The first is by using common designing paper, and indicating the + rotation by dots. The horizonal rows of squares represent the shafts, the + vertical rows the warp-threads. Fig. <a href="#Fig_1">1</a> shows four + repeats of a straight draw on six harness marked out according to this + idea. A second method is to use paper ruled horizontally, the lines + representing the shafts; and to draw vertical lines +<!-- Page 9 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9"></a>[pg 9]</span> + for the warp-threads. + The latter are made to stop on the lines bearing the number of the shafts + into which the respective threads are to be drawn.

The arrangement of this interlacing is technically called + the <i>Weave</i>, and the variety in which the points of crossing can be + distributed is practically endless.</p> + + <p>It is principally the weave that lends to a fabric its character, + influenced, of course, by the material used, the size and tension of the + threads and the combination of the colors.</p> + + <p>The weaves are divided into three main classes: <i>the Foundation + weaves</i>. In the silk business they are known under the following + names:</p> + + <p class="i8"><b>The Taffeta Weave,</b></p> + <p class="i8"><b>The Serge Weave,</b></p> + <p class="i8"><b>The Satin Weave.</b></p> + + <p>In the foundation weaves each thread effects only one crossing in one + repeat of the weave, and the points of interlacing occur in a given + rotation. A repeat in the foundation weaves comprises the same number of + warp-threads as of +<!-- Page 16 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16"></a>[pg 16]</span> + <i>picks</i> or filling threads, and if + this number is 8, for instance, the weave is called an 8-shaft or an + 8-harness weave. In marking out a weave, the warp-threads are represented + by vertical lines, the filling by horizontal ones, or in each case by the + space between these lines. The places where a warp-thread lies over the + filling are marked with paint or simply with a cross. In a similar manner + we mark out the <i>chain draft</i>, which indicates the rotation in which + the shafts are raised.</p> + +<hr /> + +<!-- Page 17 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_17"></a>[pg 17]</span> + +<h3>THE TAFFETA WEAVE</h3> + +<a name="Fig_16"></a> +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/fig16.png" +alt="Fig. 16" /><br />Fig. 16 + </div> +<hr class="short"/> + +<a name="Fig_17"></a> +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/fig17.png" +alt="Fig. 17" /><br />Fig. 17 + </div> + +<!-- Page 18 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_18"></a>[pg 18]</span> + + <p>This is the simplest and oldest method of interlacing. The odd numbers + of warp-threads cross the even numbers after every pick; hence of two + warp-threads one will always go over the first pick and under the second, + and the other end under the first and over the second pick. Taffeta + cloth, therefore, has the same appearance on both sides, and in cotton + and wool weaving this weave is technically—and properly + indeed—called the <i>Plain Weave</i>. It has the smallest repeat, 2 + warp-threads and 2 picks, and the exchanging of warp and filling is the + most frequent possible. The cloth thus produced is firmer and stronger + than that obtained with any other weave.</p> + + <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_16">16</a> is a taffeta on 4 shafts straight draw, + the draft executed in the manner which we have already mentioned in + explaining the drawing-in drafts.</p> + + <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_17">17</a> on common designing paper, illustrates a + taffeta made on 8-harness, skip draw.</p> + + <p>Be it mentioned that the drawing-in draft and the chain draft will be + added throughout this work, the former over the weave to correspond with + the respective warp-threads, the latter to the right of the drawing-in + draft.</p> + +<hr /> + +<!-- Page 19 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_19"></a>[pg 19]</span> + +<h3>GROS DE TOURS WEAVES</h3> + +<div class="c"> +<table><tr><td class="b"> +<a name="Fig_18"></a> +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/fig18.png" +alt="Fig. 18" /><br />Fig. 18 + </div> + +</td><td> + +<a name="Fig_19"></a> +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/fig19.png" +alt="Fig. 19" /><br />Fig. 19 + </div> +</td></tr></table> +</div> + + <p>In this weave the working of the warp is the same as in taffeta, + except that instead of one pick, two or more are inserted in the same + shed.

Gros de Tours is + sometimes used, especially when cotton or wool filling is employed, with + a view to lay two picks nicely side by side, whereas a thread entered two + ply with the taffeta weave will always receive some twist, which may + disturb the perfect evenness of the fabric.</p> + + <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_18">18</a> is a Gros de Tours with two picks on + four harness straight through.</p> + + <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_19">19</a> illustrates this weave with three picks + drawn end and end on two sections of four shafts each.</p> + +<hr /> + +<!-- Page 20 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_20"></a>[pg 20]</span> + +<h3>SERGE or TWILL WEAVES</h3> + + <p>While the taffeta weave produces either an entirely smooth fabric, or + one with a distinct transverse rib as in gros-grain, the twill weave + forms diagonal lines on the cloth, running either from left to right or + from right to left.</p> + + <p>To make a twill, not less than three ends and three picks are + required, of which each thread floats over two of the other system and + interlaces with the third. The rotation of the interlacing is always + consecutive, that is it moves with each succeeding pick one thread to the + right (or to the left if the lines are to run in that direction). If warp + and filling have the same texture, that is the same number of threads in + a given space, the twill lines will form an angle of 45°; if the warp + stands closer than the filling, the incline will be steeper, and in the + opposite case the angle will approach more the horizontal.</p> + + <p>The weaves can be expressed in numbers, for instance: the 3-end twill + warp effect would be marked 2-1, which indicates that each warp-thread + goes over two and under one pick.</p> + + <p>Twill weaves are called <i>evensided</i> when the arrangement of "warp + up" and "filling up" are evenly balanced, and <i>unevensided</i> if + either warp or filling predominate on the face of the fabric; the latter + class is therefore subdivided in <i>Warp effects</i> and <i>Filling + effects</i>.</p>

THE WEAVE</h3> + + <p>If a given sample is to be reproduced or imitated, it must be + analyzed, and the following hints will greatly facilitate this operation + to the beginner.</p> + + <p>Cut the sample straight on two sides, and draw out a number of warp + and filling threads until there is a small fringe of perhaps ¼ of an + inch. This will allow a thread to be raised a little for examination, + without danger of its falling out of the fabric. In most cases it is + easier to dissect the filling side, that is, the interlacing of each + warp-thread in the threads of the filling system. With the help of the + microscope or counting glass we can easily determine over and under how + many picks that thread passes and the points of interlacing are + accordingly marked on designing paper. This being done for at least the + length of a repeat warpways, we take it out and examine the following + thread, and so on until the repeat filling-ways is complete. It is + advisable to ascertain how many picks ahead or back of the first examined + thread the next following one binds before taking the former out.</p> + + <p>A knowledge of the construction of weaves as explained in the + foregoing chapters will enable us to determine the weave of a simple + pattern by merely raising a warp-thread with a needle on any point of + interlacing and counting off how many picks apart from this place it + makes an impression.</p> + +<h3>2. LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE FABRIC</h3> + + <p>To the length and width which the finished product is to have, we must + add a certain allowance for shrinkage and <i>taking up</i> of warp during + weaving. It may differ from one to ten per cent., according to the + texture and weave of the fabric, and can be ascertained with sufficient + accuracy by stretching out and measuring a thread of warp and filling and + comparing their length with the respective measurements of the sample to + be reproduced.</p> + +<!-- Page 69 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_69"></a>[pg 69]</span> + +<h3>3. THE STOCK AND ITS DYE</h3> + + <p>Under this heading we must give the particulars as to nature, + <i>twist</i>, <i>quality</i> and <i>size</i> of the silk, and the + directions for the dyeing, whether <i>bright</i> or <i>souple</i>, and in + what colors, also whether to be weighted or not.</p> + + <p>The size is generally ascertained (in practical work) by comparing it + with other silk of which the exact count is known. Another method is to + count the number of cocoon threads which a thread of the sample contains, + adding to that 1/3 or ¼, according to the quality of the silk; the result + will be the count in deniers. To obtain it in drams, divide the latter + number by 17,3 as 1 dram is equal to 17,3 deniers.</p> + + <p>Suppose we find 20 cocoon ends in a thread of silk: add 1/3, and we + have 26-2/3 deniers, which, divided by 17,3 make 1,54 drams.</p> + + <p>As silk is always more or less uneven, it is safer to count the cocoon + fibers of several threads and to take average thereof.</p> + + <p>It requires the experience of years to judge with any degree of + certainty as to the origin and quality of silk, whether it be + "classical," "extra," "sublime," etc.</p> + + <p>There are machines wherewith to ascertain exactly the twist, that is, + the number of turns the silk has received in the throwing process.</p> + + <p>In the dyeing we distinguish two great classes, of which the names + themselves give a good definition. "Bright" has a brilliant luster, while + "souple" has more of a dull, subdued appearance. To find out whether the + silk has been weighted in the dyeing process, we may compare it with + other silk of which the exact conditions are known, or we may burn a + small quantity of it. Unweighted silk does not burn readily and leaves a + residue of white ashes, while heavy weighted silk burns lively, leaving + black, charry ashes.</p> + +<!-- Page 70 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_70"></a>[pg 70]</span> + +<h3>4. REED CALCULATION</h3> + + <p>We count the number of repeats of the weave in a given space, + generally ¼ or ½ inch, and multiply this with the number of threads one + repeat contains, which gives us the reduction of the warp.</p> + + <p>Suppose we had a taffeta, which, as we know, has only 2 ends to a + repeat, and counted 30 interlacings per ¼ inch on one pick; we would have + 60 threads per ¼ inch or 240 per one inch. In this case the reed may be + 80 by 3 or 60 by 4.</p> + + <p>Another instance: In an 8-shaft satin we count 10 warp-threads, which + bind on the same pick in ¼ inch; this, multiplied by 8, equals 80 ends + per ¼, or 320 per one inch; the reed will be an 80 with 4 in a dent or a + 64 by 5.</p> + + <p>In short, the number of the reed is found by dividing the number of + warp-threads that are to go in one dent, in the number of ends per inch. + Sometimes, the reed marks are clearly visible in a sample by holding the + latter against the light. Silk fabrics move with very few exceptions + within the limits of 50 and 90 dents per inch.</p> + + <p>To learn the full number of dents required for the width of the cloth, + simply multiply the dents per one inch with the width, adding a certain + allowance for shrinkage. The edges, of course, must also be taken in + consideration, and very often the dents that are taken up by the latter + are used to counter-balance that shrinkage.</p> + +<h3>5. DRAWING-IN THE WARP IN HARNESS AND REED</h3> + + <p>Here we must specify the number of dents that contain the same number + of ends, and whether the latter are single or double, also the number of + shafts and the method of drawing-in.</p> + +<!-- Page 71 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_71"></a>[pg 71]</span> + +<h3>6. WARPING TICKET</h3> + + <p>To make out the warping ticket, we need to ascertain the total number + of ends, whether leased single or double, and the arrangement of the + colors.</p> + +<h3>7. HARNESS ARRANGEMENT</h3> + + <p>This is governed by the number of ends to be drawn in and the + necessary shafts. If we have, for instance, 100 threads per inch to be + drawn on 4 shafts, we must give each shaft 25 heddles per inch. There are + generally between 25 and 45 heddles per inch on one shaft.</p> + +<h3>8.

CALCULATION OF WARP AND FILLING</h3> + + <p>The system adopted in this country for specifying the size of silk is + based on the weight in drams (avoirdupois) of a skein containing 1000 + yards.

To obtain these effects the ground is made of one weave, say + taffeta, while the figures or flowers are produced in another weave, say + satin.</p> + + <p>We enter the warp through a jacquard harness, and according to the + repeat use a 200, 400, 600, 900, 1200, etc., hook jacquard machine, which + means 200, 400, 600, 900 and 1200 ends per repeat.</p> + + <p>With a 600-hook machine a larger repeat can be produced than with a + 499-hook machine. For instance, if we want to make a cloth the figures of + which are to be two inches apart, it is a two-inch repeat, and use the + count of 50/4 or 200 ends per inch, we can use a 400-hook machine, 2 in. + x 200 ends. But we can make this cloth also on a 1200-hook machine, only + the repeat must be designed three times. The advantage of using a + 1200-hook machine with the count 50/4 is that 2, 3, 4, 6-inch repeats can + be produced, while with a 400-hook machine, only a 2-inch repeat can be + made.</p> + + <p>There is no end to all the different weaves and the possible flower + and other pattern effects that can be made with the jacquard machine. For + a jacquard weaving plant the designing is the most important factor.</p> + +<hr /> + +<h3>BOX LOOM WEAVES INCLUDING CREPES</h3> + + <p>Box looms are required for weaves such as bayadères, checks, plaids + (see pages 63-65), bengalines, crêpes, etc., where two or more shuttles + are needed to bring out the effect.</p> + + <p>For the crêpes (crêpe de chine, crêpe georgette) only two shuttles are + needed, while plaids and other articles are made with more shuttles.</p> + + <p>To weave such articles the loom or the lay must be fitted with two or + more shuttle boxes on one or both sides of the loom.</p> + +<!-- Page 101 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_101"></a>[pg 101]</span> + + <p>If a manufacturer decides to change plain looms to box looms or buy + new box looms, it is wise to get 4 × 4 boxes, or four shuttle boxes on + each side.</p> + + <p>With these looms about everything can be made that is called for in + box-loom effects, and as styles change, it is wise to be prepared.</p> + +<hr /> + +<h3>MANUFACTURING COSTS</h3> + + <p>The calculator first ascertains for the warp: What silk will be used, + the cost of the same, total number of ends in the warps for the amount of + silk, cost of throwing, dyeing, winding, warping, twisting, entering, and + weaving.</p> + + <p>Then the filling: Silk to be used, how much, cost of silk, cost of + throwing, dyeing, winding, doubling, quilling.</p> + + <p>After this determine the cost of weaving, cloth picking, finishing, + factory costs, and selling expenses.</p> + + <p>To-day most of the operations are paid by "piece work."</p> + + <p>The calculator must always take into consideration that poor raw silk + or poor dyeing make production slow, increase the cost of labor, and also + that more waste will be made.</p> + + <p>THROWING: Regular organ usually has 16 turns per inch in the first + twist and 14 turns to the inch in the second or reverse twist. Tram + receives only one twisting, about three turns to the inch.</p> + + <p>As the warp twisting-in is paid for at so much per hundred or thousand + ends, no matter how short or long the warp is, it is a saving to make the + warps as long as possible, especially in raw, black and staple + colors.</p> + + <p>The calculator must not forget the cost of entering the first warp in + a harness, also the reeding.</p> + + <p>Most mills figure the cost of harness and reed in the expense + accounts. If plain and fancy goods are made an extra percentage should be + figured for the latter.</p> + +<!-- Page 102 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_102"></a>[pg 102]</span> + + <p>EXPENSES are figured differently, as almost every manufacturer has his + own system. If a mill makes only a few staple articles it is easy to put + down the cost of expenses. Say the mill has a production of 500,000 yards + per year, that the expense amounts to $35,000, the cost then is 7 cents + per yard.</p> + + <p>Manufacturers making all kinds of goods sometimes figure the expenses + in percentage, say, for plain goods, with a few picks, like gros-grain, + peau de soie, etc., 10 per cent. per yard. Taffeta, satin, etc., having + more picks, 12½ per cent. per yard, and fancy and jacquard goods, 15 per + cent. per yard. In the expense account we include all charges except raw + silk, throwing, dyeing and piece work.</p> + + <p>SELLING EXPENSES. Before a calculation is finished we must add the + selling expenses to the cost, also take account of the trade discount. + Small mills usually sell through a commission house, which pays all + expenses and charges a certain commission.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2.

YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/old/14600-h/images/fig1.png b/old/14600-h/images/fig1.png Binary files differnew file mode

It may indeed +be proud of this position, to which that enterprising spirit and untiring +energy peculiar to our nation, combined with our great technical and +natural resources, has brought it. + +That we are, on the other hand, not yet at the height of perfection we are +also compelled to acknowledge, but if we consider the short space of time +that the American industry has required for its development, as compared to +the decades, almost centuries, to which some of the great European silk +centers can look back, the fact is neither surprising nor discouraging. + +While it must not be our aim to imitate or copy their ways, inasmuch as out +conditions and circumstances are quite different from theirs, we may still +profitably study their methods in order to overcome our deficiencies. + +The greatest advantage which our competitors derive from such a long +existence consists in having at their disposal a force of skilful, trained +help. The manufacturers, appreciating the importance of this factor, make +great efforts and pecuniary sacrifices to elevate and maintain the high +standard of their industry. + +For instance, they support textile schools and lecture courses, where young +men can acquire a thorough technical education and equip themselves for a +career of usefulness, thereby serving their own interests and at the same +time furthering those of their chosen profession. + + [Page 6] +This beneficial influence cannot fail to exert itself from the standard of +the higher employer down to that of the weaver, who would naturally take +more pains and interest in his work than if he were a mere mechanical +appendage to his loom in order to keep it in motion. + +Very little has been done in his country for technical education as far as +the silk industry is concerned, and it was on this special branch, that +prompted the author to offer in the present little work a treatise on the +theory of shaft weaving for broad silks and ribbons. + +It is divided into three principal parts: + + #1st. Drawing-in the warp in the harness. + 2nd. The weaves and their application. + 3rd. Decomposition or analysis of the cloth.# + +To the foregoing there have been added in the revised and enlarged edition +several additional parts covering the following: JACQUARD WEAVES, BOX LOOM +WEAVES, including CREPES, and COST CALCULATIONS for plain and fancy weaves. + +The subject while condensed, is made as clear and comprehensible as +possible, and to many desirous of increasing their knowledge in this +direction, this should prove a valuable help. + +The author, through the medium of this work, hopes to win the approval and +encouragement of the manufacturers, and will feel amply repaid should his +efforts tend to develop a deeper interest in the "Queen of Textiles." + + * * * * * + + [Page 7] +THEORY OF SILK WEAVING + +DRAWING-IN + +With this term we designate the operation preceding the weaving, by which +all the warp-threads are drawn through the heddles of the harness. + +The order in which this is done varies according to the weave and the +nature of the fabric to be produced; so we distinguish: + + #Straight draws, + Skip draws, + Point draws, + Section draws.# + + * * * * * + +STRAIGHT DRAWS + +[Illustration: Fig. 1] + + * * * * + + [Page 8] +[Illustration: Fig. 2] + +These form the simplest and most common method of drawing-in. We begin with +the first heddle on the left side of the shaft _nearest to the warp-beam_, +then take the first heddle of second shaft and so on until all the shafts +the set contains are used in rotation. This completes one "draw," and this +operation is repeated until all the warp-threads are taken up. + +The method of making the shaft nearest to the warp-beam the first, is +almost universal with the silk business and is technically called +_drawing-in from back to front_. + +The opposite, or drawing in from _front to rear_, is used occasionally, +however, and in this case makes the first heddle on the left hand side of +the front shaft No. 1. + +The making out of the _Drawing-in Draft_, which must indicate the +arrangement or the rotation in which the warp-threads are drawn in, can be +done in various ways, of which we will mention the two most popular +methods. The first is by using common designing paper, and indicating the +rotation by dots. The horizonal rows of squares represent the shafts, the +vertical rows the warp-threads. Fig. 1 shows four repeats of a straight +draw on six harness marked out according to this idea. A second method is +to use paper ruled horizontally, the lines representing the shafts; and to +draw vertical lines for the warp-threads. The latter are made to stop on + [Page 9] +the lines bearing the number of the shafts into which the respective +threads are to be drawn. Fig. 2 is such a draft, illustrating six repeats +of a draw on four harness from "Front to Rear." + + * * * * * + +SKIP DRAWS + +[Illustration: Fig. 3] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 4] + +The draws coming under this heading are used very extensively in silk +weaving, especially for fabrics requiring a heavy warp and a large number +of shafts. Enter first the odd and then the even shafts. An 8 harness draw +of this kind, of which three repeats are shown in Fig. 3, runs as follows: +1, 3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8. + +Fig. 4 is a 12 harness draw of the same class. + + * * * * * + +POINT DRAWS + +[Illustration: Fig. 5] + + * * * * + + [Page 10] +[Illustration: Fig. 6] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 7] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 8] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 9] + + [Page 11] +Point draws are a combination of a regular straight draw from back to front +and one from front to back, the first and the last shafts only being used +once, while the rest receive two ends each in one repeat of the draw. Fig. +5 illustrates a regular point draw in 2 repeats on 10 shafts. It will be +seen that 14 ends make a repeat; in fact, the number of warp-threads +required for one draw will always be double the number of harness less 2, +hence a 12 harness regular point draw will require 22 warp-threads for a +repeat. + +The drawing-in draft illustrated in Fig. 6 is a slight variation of the +regular point draw; it consists, as will be seen, of a draw from back to +front, and also a full one from front to back, there by causing a _double +point_. + +Another change from the regular point draw is illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8; +this class may be called _Broken point draws_, because a new draw is begun +before the other one is complete. Fig. 9 also comes in this class and +represents a _zigzag draw_ on 10 harness. + +The drawing-in drafts which we have described under the head of "Point +draws," are used mostly to obtain the various pointed and zigzag effects. + + * * * * * + +SECTION DRAWS + +[Illustration: Fig. 10] + + * * * * + + [Page 12] +[Illustration: Fig. 11] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 12] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 13] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 14] + + * * * * + + [Page 13] +[Illustration: Fig. 15] + +This division of drawing-in drafts is used extensively in silk +manufacturing; for instance, in all fabrics having a ground warp and a +binder warp, also in double-face goods, or where two different weaves are +combined in one effect. + +One or more threads are drawn on the first section, then one or more on a +second and third, if the harness is divided in so many sets. + +The following examples will illustrate the principle of these draws. + +In Fig. 10, shafts 1, 2, 3, 4 from the first set, shafts 5 and 6 the +second, 8 threads are drawn straight on the first, then 2 on the second +section. + +Fig. 11, first set shafts 1 to 6 inclusive, second set shafts 7 and 8. + +Fig. 12 is drawn end and end on two sections having 8 shafts each. + +Figs. 13, 14 and 15, while not strictly belonging to the class of section +draws, may, however, be considered under this heading. The idea is to draw +a certain number of ends in one part of the harness and another group in +another part, be it straight, point or skip, which will cause the effect on +the cloth to be accordingly transposed or broken up. + + [Page 15] + * * * * * + +THE WEAVES AND THEIR CONSTRUCTION + +In any woven fabric we distinguish two systems of threads, the _Warp or +Chain_, running lengthways in the cloth, and the _Filling or Weft_, +crossing the former at right angles. + +This crossing or interlacing consists of every individual warp-thread being +placed alternately under and over one or more threads of the filling +system. The arrangement of this interlacing is technically called the +_Weave_, and the variety in which the points of crossing can be distributed +is practically endless. + +It is principally the weave that lends to a fabric its character, +influenced, of course, by the material used, the size and tension of the +threads and the combination of the colors. + +The weaves are divided into three main classes: _the Foundation weaves_. In +the silk business they are known under the following names: + + #The Taffeta Weave, + The Serge Weave, + The Satin Weave.# + +In the foundation weaves each thread effects only one crossing in one +repeat of the weave, and the points of interlacing occur in a given +rotation. A repeat in the foundation weaves comprises the same number of +warp-threads as of _picks_ or filling threads, and if this number is 8, for + [Page 16] +instance, the weave is called an 8-shaft or an 8-harness weave. In marking +out a weave, the warp-threads are represented by vertical lines, the +filling by horizontal ones, or in each case by the space between these +lines. The places where a warp-thread lies over the filling are marked with +paint or simply with a cross. In a similar manner we mark out the _chain +draft_, which indicates the rotation in which the shafts are raised. + + * * * * * + + [Page 17] +THE TAFFETA WEAVE + +[Illustration: Fig. 16] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 17] + + [Page 18] +This is the simplest and oldest method of interlacing. The odd numbers of +warp-threads cross the even numbers after every pick; hence of two +warp-threads one will always go over the first pick and under the second, +and the other end under the first and over the second pick. Taffeta cloth, +therefore, has the same appearance on both sides, and in cotton and wool +weaving this weave is technically--and properly indeed--called the _Plain +Weave_. It has the smallest repeat, 2 warp-threads and 2 picks, and the +exchanging of warp and filling is the most frequent possible. The cloth +thus produced is firmer and stronger than that obtained with any other +weave. + +Fig. 16 is a taffeta on 4 shafts straight draw, the draft executed in the +manner which we have already mentioned in explaining the drawing-in drafts. + +Fig. 17 on common designing paper, illustrates a taffeta made on 8-harness, +skip draw. + +Be it mentioned that the drawing-in draft and the chain draft will be added +throughout this work, the former over the weave to correspond with the +respective warp-threads, the latter to the right of the drawing-in draft. + + * * * * * + + [Page 19] +GROS DE TOURS WEAVES + +[Illustration: Fig. 18] + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 19] + +In this weave the working of the warp is the same as in taffeta, except +that instead of one pick, two or more are inserted in the same shed. It is +mostly used in selvedges, where it serves to give more firmness to the edge +of an otherwise loosely woven cloth, and prevents the weaving ahead of the +edge in a tight weave. Gros de Tours is sometimes used, especially when +cotton or wool filling is employed, with a view to lay two picks nicely +side by side, whereas a thread entered two ply with the taffeta weave will +always receive some twist, which may disturb the perfect evenness of the +fabric. + +Fig. 18 is a Gros de Tours with two picks on four harness straight through. + +Fig. 19 illustrates this weave with three picks drawn end and end on two +sections of four shafts each. + + * * * * * + + [Page 20] +SERGE or TWILL WEAVES + +While the taffeta weave produces either an entirely smooth fabric, or one +with a distinct transverse rib as in gros-grain, the twill weave forms +diagonal lines on the cloth, running either from left to right or from +right to left. + +To make a twill, not less than three ends and three picks are required, of +which each thread floats over two of the other system and interlaces with +the third. The rotation of the interlacing is always consecutive, that is +it moves with each succeeding pick one thread to the right (or to the left +if the lines are to run in that direction). If warp and filling have the +same texture, that is the same number of threads in a given space, the +twill lines will form an angle of 45 deg.; if the warp stands closer than the +filling, the incline will be steeper, and in the opposite case the angle +will approach more the horizontal. + +The weaves can be expressed in numbers, for instance: the 3-end twill warp +effect would be marked 2-1, which indicates that each warp-thread goes over +two and under one pick. + +Twill weaves are called _evensided_ when the arrangement of "warp up" and +"filling up" are evenly balanced, and _unevensided_ if either warp or +filling predominate on the face of the fabric; the latter class is +therefore subdivided in _Warp effects_ and _Filling effects_. + +In the following a number of serge weaves are illustrated, the French +designations being added in some cases, as they are still extensively used +in the trade. + + [Page 21] + * * * * * + +FILLING EFFECTS + +_Satin de Lyon,_ 2-1. + +On 6 harness straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 20] + + * * * * + +_Levantine,_ 3-1<h/5> + +On 8 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 21] + + * * * * + + [Page 22] +_Polonaise,_ 5-1 + +On 12 harness skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 22] + + * * * * + +_Serge grosse cote,_ 7-1 + +On 8 shafts straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 23] + + * * * * + + [Page 23] +_Serge remaine,_ 6-2 + +On 8 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 24] + + * * * * + +_Serge,_ 5-1, 1-1. + +On 8 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 25] + + * * * * + + [Page 24] +_Serge,_ 4-2, 1-1, 1-1. + +On 10 harness straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 26] + + * * * * + +_Serge,_ 7-1, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1. + +On 16 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 27] + + * * * * * + + [Page 25] +WARP EFFECTS + +_Levantine,_ 3-1. + +On 4 shafts straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 28] + + * * * * + +_Serge,_ 5-1, 1-1. + +On 8 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 29] + + * * * * * + + [Page 26] +EVENSIDED TWILLS + +_Surah,_ 2-2 + +On 4 shafts straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 30] + + * * * * + +_Croise,_ 3-3, 2-2, 1-1. + +On 12 shafts straight through. + +[Illustration: Fig. 31] + + * * * * + + [Page 27] +_Serge,_ 7-7, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1 + +On 20 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 32] + + * * * * * + +POINTED TWILLS + +in the direction of the filling and also of the warp. + +[Illustration: Fig. 33] + +On 4 shafts point draw, weave 3-1. + + * * * * + + [Page 28] +[Illustration: Fig. 34] + + On 6 shafts point draw, drawn as follows: + + Eighteen ends from back to front and 4 ends from front to rear, weave + 5-1. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 35] + +On 8 shafts pointed draw, weave 5-1, 1-1. + + * * * * + + [Page 29] +[Illustration: Fig. 36] + +On 10 shafts, with weave 3-3, drawn as follows: + + 7 threads from back to front. + 3 " " front to rear. + 6 " " back to front. + 2 " " front to rear. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 37] + +On 6 shafts straight draw, pointed weave 5-1. + + * * * * + + [Page 30] +[Illustration: Fig. 38] + +On 8 shafts straight through, pointed weave 5-1, 1-1. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 39] + +_Broken pointed twill_, on 8 harness. + + * * * * + + [Page 31] +[Illustration: Fig. 40] + +On 6 shafts point draw, pointed weave 5-1. + + * * * * + +[Illustration: Fig. 41] + +On 8 shafts point draw, pointed weave 5-1, 1-1. + + * * * * + + [Page 32] +[Illustration: Fig. 42] + +_Fancy twill_, on 16 shafts straight draw. + + * * * * * + +SATIN WEAVES + +The distinct diagonal lines which characterize the class of weaves +explained in the previous chapter are absent in the satin weaves; and while +the interlacing in the former is done in a strictly consecutive order, we +endeavor to scatter the points of stitching in the latter as much as +possible, in order to create an entirely smooth and brilliant surface on + [Page 33] +the cloth. + +In all satins the number of ends in a repeat is the same in warp and +filling. + +The lowest repeat of a regular satin comprises five threads of each system, +and the interlacing is done in the following order: + + The 1st pick with the 1st warp-thread + " 2d " " 3d " + " 3d " " 5th " + " 4th " " 2d " + " 5th " " 4th " + +Fig. 43 illustrates this weave. An examination of the rotation, as given +above, will show that every warp-thread intersects two picks apart from its +neighbor. The number "2" is in this case what is technically known as the +_counter_, that is the number which indicates the points of interlacing by +adding it to number 1 and continuing so until all the warp-threads are +taken up. + +The following is the rule to find the counter for any regular satin: + +Divide the number of harness into two parts, which must neither be equal +nor have a common divisor. Any of these two numbers can be used for +counting off, but usually the smaller one is taken.

The threads +going into the composition of these effects exchange continually from +taffeta interlacing to floating over a certain number of threads, and must +be introduced either in warp or filling close enough to make the floats +cover up the taffeta work entirely, and thus enable the material used to +show up with the full brilliancy it possesses. + +Cannele effects can be produced in two distinct ways. One is to let every +individual thread work alternately taffeta and float, while in the other +method one thread weaves always taffeta, and a second thread is used for +the cannele exclusively. These latter threads must come from a separate +warp, which is introduced to embellish the ground or taffeta part of the +fabric. + +The floating threads can either stitch all on one pick and so form a +continuous cut line, or be divided in groups, of which one will bind in the +middle of the floats of the other group.

The color on one side is +generally different from the other, and so may the interlacing be of a +different nature on face and back. In the latter case great care must be +exercised not to allow the weave on one side to disturb the one on the +other, and as a rule the points of interlacing of the first warp or filling +system are placed as much as possible in the middle of the floats of the +second. This will prevent either color or weave to be seen on the opposite +side, as the floats of one side will naturally lay themselves over the +binders of the other. The number of ends in a repeat of the two weaves must +either be alike or one a multiple of the other. + +Warp Effects + +_Levantine_ on 8 shafts straight draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 74] + + * * * * + + [Page 56] +_Serge_ 6-2 on 2 sections of 8 shafts each. + +[Illustration: Fig. 75] + + * * * * + +8 _shaft satin_ on 2 sections of 8 harness each. + +[Illustration: Fig. 76] + + * * * * + + [Page 57] +12 _shaft satin_ on 2 sections of 12 shafts each. + +[Illustration: Fig. 77] + + * * * * + +_Cannele_ of 8 picks on 2 sections of 4 shafts each. + +[Illustration: Fig. 78] + + * * * * * + + [Page 58] +FILLING EFFECTS + +_Serge_ 5-1 on 6 harness straight draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 79] + + * * * * + +10 _harness satin_ on 10 shafts skip draw. + +[Illustration: Fig. 80] + + * * * * + + [Page 59] +_Repp_ on 2 sections of 4 shafts each, 8 threads per section. + +[Illustration: Fig. 81] + + * * * * + + [Page 60] +PEKINS + +With this name we designate fabrics in which stripes of a different +interlacing run in the direction of the warp. In combining these weaves it +is advantageous to have them contrast distinctly, for instance, a short +weave such as taffeta or Gros de Tours, with a longer and looser one such +as satin, serge or cannele, also changes from warp to filling effects. Care +must be taken to arrange the joining of the two weaves so that the last +thread of one weave will cross the first thread of the other. This will +prevent the threads from either stripe to slide over into the other, and so +make a clean cut line. + +#Pekin.# A stripe of + + 2 dents of 8 ends each, 8 shaft Satin, on 8 shafts straight draw. + 12 " 2 " Taffeta " 4 " " " + +[Illustration: Fig. 82] + + * * * * + + [Page 61] +#Pekin#.

THE WEAVE + +If a given sample is to be reproduced or imitated, it must be analyzed, and +the following hints will greatly facilitate this operation to the beginner. + +Cut the sample straight on two sides, and draw out a number of warp and +filling threads until there is a small fringe of perhaps 1/4 of an inch. This +will allow a thread to be raised a little for examination, without danger +of its falling out of the fabric. In most cases it is easier to dissect the +filling side, that is, the interlacing of each warp-thread in the threads +of the filling system. With the help of the microscope or counting glass we +can easily determine over and under how many picks that thread passes and +the points of interlacing are accordingly marked on designing paper. This +being done for at least the length of a repeat warpways, we take it out and +examine the following thread, and so on until the repeat filling-ways is +complete. It is advisable to ascertain how many picks ahead or back of the +first examined thread the next following one binds before taking the former +out. + +A knowledge of the construction of weaves as explained in the foregoing +chapters will enable us to determine the weave of a simple pattern by +merely raising a warp-thread with a needle on any point of interlacing and +counting off how many picks apart from this place it makes an impression. + +2. LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE FABRIC + +To the length and width which the finished product is to have, we must add +a certain allowance for shrinkage and _taking up_ of warp during weaving. +It may differ from one to ten per cent., according to the texture and weave +of the fabric, and can be ascertained with sufficient accuracy by +stretching out and measuring a thread of warp and filling and comparing +their length with the respective measurements of the sample to be +reproduced. + + [Page 69] +3. THE STOCK AND ITS DYE + +Under this heading we must give the particulars as to nature, _twist_, +_quality_ and _size_ of the silk, and the directions for the dyeing, +whether _bright_ or _souple_, and in what colors, also whether to be +weighted or not. + +The size is generally ascertained (in practical work) by comparing it with +other silk of which the exact count is known. Another method is to count +the number of cocoon threads which a thread of the sample contains, adding +to that 1/3 or 1/4, according to the quality of the silk; the result will be +the count in deniers. To obtain it in drams, divide the latter number by +17,3 as 1 dram is equal to 17,3 deniers. + +Suppose we find 20 cocoon ends in a thread of silk: add 1/3, and we have +26-2/3 deniers, which, divided by 17,3 make 1,54 drams. + +As silk is always more or less uneven, it is safer to count the cocoon +fibers of several threads and to take average thereof. + +It requires the experience of years to judge with any degree of certainty +as to the origin and quality of silk, whether it be "classical," "extra," +"sublime," etc. + +There are machines wherewith to ascertain exactly the twist, that is, the +number of turns the silk has received in the throwing process. + +In the dyeing we distinguish two great classes, of which the names +themselves give a good definition. "Bright" has a brilliant luster, while +"souple" has more of a dull, subdued appearance. To find out whether the +silk has been weighted in the dyeing process, we may compare it with other +silk of which the exact conditions are known, or we may burn a small +quantity of it. Unweighted silk does not burn readily and leaves a residue +of white ashes, while heavy weighted silk burns lively, leaving black, +charry ashes. + + [Page 70] +4. REED CALCULATION + +We count the number of repeats of the weave in a given space, generally 1/4 +or 1/2 inch, and multiply this with the number of threads one repeat +contains, which gives us the reduction of the warp. + +Suppose we had a taffeta, which, as we know, has only 2 ends to a repeat, +and counted 30 interlacings per 1/4 inch on one pick; we would have 60 +threads per 1/4 inch or 240 per one inch. In this case the reed may be 80 by +3 or 60 by 4. + +Another instance: In an 8-shaft satin we count 10 warp-threads, which bind +on the same pick in 1/4 inch; this, multiplied by 8, equals 80 ends per 1/4, or +320 per one inch; the reed will be an 80 with 4 in a dent or a 64 by 5. + +In short, the number of the reed is found by dividing the number of +warp-threads that are to go in one dent, in the number of ends per inch. +Sometimes, the reed marks are clearly visible in a sample by holding the +latter against the light. Silk fabrics move with very few exceptions within +the limits of 50 and 90 dents per inch. + +To learn the full number of dents required for the width of the cloth, +simply multiply the dents per one inch with the width, adding a certain +allowance for shrinkage. The edges, of course, must also be taken in +consideration, and very often the dents that are taken up by the latter are +used to counter-balance that shrinkage. + +5. DRAWING-IN THE WARP IN HARNESS AND REED + +Here we must specify the number of dents that contain the same number of +ends, and whether the latter are single or double, also the number of +shafts and the method of drawing-in. + + [Page 71] +6. WARPING TICKET + +To make out the warping ticket, we need to ascertain the total number of +ends, whether leased single or double, and the arrangement of the colors. + +7. HARNESS ARRANGEMENT + +This is governed by the number of ends to be drawn in and the necessary +shafts. If we have, for instance, 100 threads per inch to be drawn on 4 +shafts, we must give each shaft 25 heddles per inch. There are generally +between 25 and 45 heddles per inch on one shaft. + +8. REDUCTION OF THE FILLING + +Here we state the number of picks per inch, give directions as to doubling, +if such is necessary, and if more than one color or shuttle is used, the +rotation thereof. + +9. CALCULATION OF WARP AND FILLING + +The system adopted in this country for specifying the size of silk is based +on the weight in drams (avoirdupois) of a skein containing 1000 yards. A +skein, thus weighing 5 drams, is technically called 5-dram silk. The number +of yards of 1-dram silk to a pound must accordingly be 256000. The formulas +for figuring the amount of silk required for a piece of cloth are as +follows: + +Warp Calculation + + _Multiply_: Number of endsxlengthxcount + ----------------------------- + _Divide by_: 1000 yardsx256 drams + + [Page 72] +Filling Calculation + + _Multiply:_ Picksxxplyxwidthxlength of piecexcount + -------------------------------------- = lbs. + _Divide by:_ 1000 yardsx256 drams + + The result in both cases will be in pounds. + +The system of grading the silk which is in vogue in Europe, and which is +employed by a number of mills on this side, is as follows: + + 1 skein of 500 meters, weighing 0,05 grams = 1 denier international + or 1 " 476 " " 0,053 " = 1 " Turin system + or 1 " 476 " " 0,051 " = 1 " Milan " + +The warp calculation, taking the international denier, would run: + + ends in warpxlengthxdenierx0,05 gram + -------------------------------------- + _divided by:_ 500 meters + + for the filling: Picks per meterxxplyxwidthxdenierx0,05 gram + --------------------------------------------- + _divided by:_ 500 meters + + Result in metric weight, kilograms and grams. + +10. FINISHING + +Give directions as to the process of finishing to which the goods are to be +subjected, whether to be pressed, calendered, sized, moired, etc. + +11. CALCULATION OF COST + +If all the foregoing conditions are ascertained, and a sample or a piece of +the fabric executed, it remains to the manufacturer to determine the exact +figure at which he can produce the article. That this must be done with +great accuracy is naturally of the utmost importance, and the calculator + [Page 73] +must know in the first place the raw stock prices, and also be acquainted +with the details of the manufacturing process and the rates of wages paid +therein. As a rule, the manufacturer establishes a scale of prices covering +all the items of labor cost, mill expenses, etc., and uses this as a basis +for his calculations. + +A rule or formula for this operation cannot very well be given, as the +methods vary in almost every establishment, each choosing the one best +adapted to its ideas or dictates of circumstances and conditions. + + [Page 75] +DISPOSITION 1 + +_Taffeta glace_ + +[Illustration: Fig. 89] + + [Page 76] + #Length and Width#--One piece 100 yards long, 183/4 inches wide. + + #Stock and Dye#--_Warp._--Ital.

To +obtain these effects the ground is made of one weave, say taffeta, while +the figures or flowers are produced in another weave, say satin. + +We enter the warp through a jacquard harness, and according to the repeat +use a 200, 400, 600, 900, 1200, etc., hook jacquard machine, which means +200, 400, 600, 900 and 1200 ends per repeat. + +With a 600-hook machine a larger repeat can be produced than with a +499-hook machine. For instance, if we want to make a cloth the figures of +which are to be two inches apart, it is a two-inch repeat, and use the +count of 50/4 or 200 ends per inch, we can use a 400-hook machine, 2 in. x +200 ends. But we can make this cloth also on a 1200-hook machine, only the +repeat must be designed three times. The advantage of using a 1200-hook +machine with the count 50/4 is that 2, 3, 4, 6-inch repeats can be +produced, while with a 400-hook machine, only a 2-inch repeat can be made. + +There is no end to all the different weaves and the possible flower and +other pattern effects that can be made with the jacquard machine. For a +jacquard weaving plant the designing is the most important factor. + + * * * * * + +BOX LOOM WEAVES INCLUDING CREPES + +Box looms are required for weaves such as bayaderes, checks, plaids (see +pages 63-65), bengalines, crepes, etc., where two or more shuttles are +needed to bring out the effect. + +For the crepes (crepe de chine, crepe georgette) only two shuttles are +needed, while plaids and other articles are made with more shuttles. + +To weave such articles the loom or the lay must be fitted with two or more +shuttle boxes on one or both sides of the loom. + + [Page 101] +If a manufacturer decides to change plain looms to box looms or buy new box +looms, it is wise to get 4 x 4 boxes, or four shuttle boxes on each side. + +With these looms about everything can be made that is called for in +box-loom effects, and as styles change, it is wise to be prepared. + + * * * * * + +MANUFACTURING COSTS + +The calculator first ascertains for the warp: What silk will be used, the +cost of the same, total number of ends in the warps for the amount of silk, +cost of throwing, dyeing, winding, warping, twisting, entering, and +weaving. + +Then the filling: Silk to be used, how much, cost of silk, cost of +throwing, dyeing, winding, doubling, quilling. + +After this determine the cost of weaving, cloth picking, finishing, factory +costs, and selling expenses. + +To-day most of the operations are paid by "piece work." + +The calculator must always take into consideration that poor raw silk or +poor dyeing make production slow, increase the cost of labor, and also that +more waste will be made. + +THROWING: Regular organ usually has 16 turns per inch in the first twist +and 14 turns to the inch in the second or reverse twist. Tram receives only +one twisting, about three turns to the inch. + +As the warp twisting-in is paid for at so much per hundred or thousand +ends, no matter how short or long the warp is, it is a saving to make the +warps as long as possible, especially in raw, black and staple colors. + +The calculator must not forget the cost of entering the first warp in a +harness, also the reeding. + +Most mills figure the cost of harness and reed in the expense accounts. If +plain and fancy goods are made an extra percentage should be figured for +the latter. + + [Page 102] +EXPENSES are figured differently, as almost every manufacturer has his own +system. If a mill makes only a few staple articles it is easy to put down +the cost of expenses. Say the mill has a production of 500,000 yards per +year, that the expense amounts to $35,000, the cost then is 7 cents per +yard. + +Manufacturers making all kinds of goods sometimes figure the expenses in +percentage, say, for plain goods, with a few picks, like gros-grain, peau +de soie, etc., 10 per cent. per yard. Taffeta, satin, etc., having more +picks, 121/2 per cent. per yard, and fancy and jacquard goods, 15 per cent. +per yard. In the expense account we include all charges except raw silk, +throwing, dyeing and piece work. + +SELLING EXPENSES. Before a calculation is finished we must add the selling +expenses to the cost, also take account of the trade discount. Small mills +usually sell through a commission house, which pays all expenses and +charges a certain commission. Many large firms have their own selling end, +and some have their sales guaranteed by a commission house or a bank. + + [Page 103] +CALCULATIONS + +The prices marked in the following calculations are about as in "normal +times." Absolutely correct piece work prices cannot be given as different +localities have different prices. + +Calculations are usually made per 100 yards, 100-meter warps. + +Most goods gain from 3 to 7 per cent. in weaving. That is, if we make a +warp of 300 meters for a satin and we obtain 315 yards of cloth, this gain +should not be calculated, as usually there is no account taken of samples +used in the selling department. But the loss in length should be figured +and taken account of on goods with a heavy rib, such as moire, faille, etc. + +DISP. 7--A 3 1/3-inch repeat can be obtained with a 600-hook jacquard +machine, seven repeats in a width of 23 inches. + +DISP. 8--Taffeta weave, but the two cotton picks must go in one hole. This +article can only be made with at least two shuttle boxes on each side. For +warping use a single and double cross reed, heavy cotton, no knots must be +tied. + +DISP. 10--This article must be warped with as much tension as possible and +no knots should be tied in. Silk is to be delivered on bobbins from +throwster. + +CANTON CREPE + +DISP. 9--Can also be made with Canton silk for filling and may be called +Canton crepe. As Canton silk is much cheaper than Japan, the manufacturer +can use 4-thread Canton instead of 3-thread Japan for filling at a little +difference in cost, thus the cloth will be heavier, but Canton silk is not +as even and clean as Japan. + + [Page 104] + Article--TAFFETA GLACE Reed 70/3 + Disp. 1 Width 183/4 in. + Warp--Ital.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/14600.zip b/old/14600.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..dede538 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/14600.zip |
