+PREFACE
+
+The silk industry of America has of late years rapidly advanced to the
+front rank among the great textile industries of the world. 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."

+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.#

+[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."

+
+[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.

+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.

+
+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.
+

+ * * * * *
+
+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.

+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.

+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. According to this rule
+we obtain a regular satin
+
+ On 5 harness with counter 2
+ " 7 " " 2 or 3
+ " 8 " " 3
+ " 9 " " 2 or 4
+ " 10 " " 3
+ " 11 " " 2, 3, 4 or 5
+ " 12 " " 5
+ " 13 " " 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6
+ " 14 " " 3 or 5
+ " 15 " " 2, 4 or 7
+ " 16 " " 3, 5 or 7.
+
+ [Page 34]
+The 4 harness broken twill, Fig. 53, is sometimes classed among the satins.
+
+The 6 harness satin, Fig. 54, is irregular; as a counter cannot be derived
+from number 6 by the given rule. The rotation generally used is 1, 3, 6, 4,
+2, 5.

+
+DERIVATIVE WEAVES
+
+#1. From the Taffeta#
+
+_Royale_ is a modification of the regular Gros de Tours, inasmuch as the
+rib line, which in the latter runs straight across the cloth, is broken off
+after a given number of warp-threads. These groups, which may comprise 8,
+12 or more threads, will interlace each one pick higher than the preceding
+one.
+
+_Royale of 8 ends_
+
+On 2 sections of 4 shafts each.
+
+[Illustration: Fig. 55]
+
+ * * * *
+
+_Velours Ottoman or Faille française._
+
+In order to obtain a broader rib than that of Gros de Tours, and at the
+same time to lend firmness to the fabric, we add to the ground warp, which
+forms the ribs, another or binder warp, which works continually taffeta,
+ [Page 42]
+while the ground warp changes only every 3 or 4 picks for the rib.
+
+_Faille française._
+
+ 4 ends of ground on the first section of 8 shafts, skip draw.
+ 1 " binder " second " 2 "
+
+[Illustration: Fig. 56]
+
+ * * * *
+
+_Velours Ottoman without a Binder-warp._
+
+In this weave, of which Fig. 57 illustrates a specimen, comprising 8
+warp-threads and 32 picks in a repeat, the rib contains 4 picks. Of the 8
+warp-threads, 3 float over and 3 under the rib, while the 2 others bind
+taffeta, which latter function is executed by 2 other threads in the next
+rib.
+
+ [Page 43]
+[Illustration: Fig. 57]
+
+ * * * * *
+
+2. 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 49]
+CANNELE and REPP WEAVES
+
+are in their construction related to the taffeta, and are used mostly in
+the form of stripes as an additional ornament to a fabric. 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 following designs show both
+the face and backside of the respective weaves:

+DOUBLE FACED FABRICS
+
+In this class we find either two systems of warp or of filling so combined
+that only one will be visible on either side. 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.

+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.

+BAYADÈRES
+
+While pekins are formed by warp stripes, bayadère shows us stripes of
+different weaves running in the direction of the filling. The rules given
+in the previous chapter as to the joining of the weaves will also apply
+here. The warp which was raised on the last pick of the weave must stay
+down wherever possible on the first pick of the following weave. The number
+of shafts employed must go up evenly in the repeat of each one of the
+weaves that go into the make up of the bayadère.

+1. 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.

+JACQUARD WEAVES
+
+Jacquard weaves usually show on a plain ground figure or flower effects. 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.

+
+<h3>PREFACE</h3>
+
+ <p>The silk industry of America has of late years rapidly advanced to the
+ front rank among the great textile industries of the world. 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. Decomposition or analysis of the cloth.</b></p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>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."</p>

+
+<h2>THEORY OF SILK WEAVING</h2>
+
+<h3>DRAWING-IN</h3>
+
+ <p>With this term we designate the operation preceding the weaving, by
+ which all the warp-threads are drawn through the heddles of the
+ harness.</p>
+
+ <p>The order in which this is done varies according to the weave and the
+ nature of the fabric to be produced; so we distinguish:</p>
+
+ <p class="i8"><b>Straight draws,</b></p>
+ <p class="i8"><b>Skip draws,</b></p>
+ <p class="i8"><b>Point draws,</b></p>
+ <p class="i8"><b>Section draws.</b></p>
+
+<hr />
+
+<h3>STRAIGHT DRAWS</h3>
+
+<a name="Fig_1"></a>
+<div class="figcenter">
+<img src="images/fig1.png"
+alt="Fig. 1" /><br />Fig. 1
+ </div>
+<hr class="short"/>
+
+<!-- Page 8 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8"></a>[pg 8]</span>
+
+<a name="Fig_2"></a>
+<div class="figcenter">
+<img src="images/fig2.png"
+alt="Fig. 2" /><br />Fig. 2
+ </div>
+ <p>These form the simplest and most common method of drawing-in. 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. Fig. <a
+ href="#Fig_2">2</a> is such a draft, illustrating six repeats of a draw
+ on four harness from "Front to Rear."</p>

+
+ <p>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. <a
+ href="#Fig_3">3</a>, runs as follows: 1, 3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8.</p>

+<!-- Page 11 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11"></a>[pg 11]</span>
+
+ <p>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. <a href="#Fig_5">5</a> 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.</p>
+
+ <p>The drawing-in draft illustrated in Fig. <a href="#Fig_6">6</a> 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 <i>double point</i>.</p>
+
+ <p>Another change from the regular point draw is illustrated in Figs. <a
+ href="#Fig_7">7</a> and <a href="#Fig_8">8</a>; this class may be called
+ <i>Broken point draws</i>, because a new draw is begun before the other
+ one is complete. Fig. <a href="#Fig_9">9</a> also comes in this class and
+ represents a <i>zigzag draw</i> on 10 harness.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>

+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>The following examples will illustrate the principle of these
+ draws.</p>
+
+ <p>In Fig. <a href="#Fig_10">10</a>, 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.</p>
+
+ <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_11">11</a>, first set shafts 1 to 6 inclusive,
+ second set shafts 7 and 8.</p>
+
+ <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_12">12</a> is drawn end and end on two sections
+ having 8 shafts each.</p>
+
+ <p>Figs. <a href="#Fig_13">13</a>, <a href="#Fig_14">14</a> and <a
+ href="#Fig_15">15</a>, 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.</p>

+
+<h3>THE WEAVES
+AND THEIR CONSTRUCTION</h3>
+
+ <p>In any woven fabric we distinguish two systems of threads, the <i>Warp
+ or Chain</i>, running lengthways in the cloth, and the <i>Filling or
+ Weft</i>, crossing the former at right angles.</p>
+
+ <p>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 <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>

+
+ <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&mdash;and properly
+ indeed&mdash;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>

+ <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. 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.</p>

+
+<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>
+
+ <p>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.</p>

+<h3>SATIN WEAVES</h3>
+
+ <p>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
+<!-- Page 33 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_33"></a>[pg 33]</span>
+ to create an entirely smooth and
+ brilliant surface on the cloth.</p>
+
+ <p>In all satins the number of ends in a repeat is the same in warp and
+ filling.</p>
+
+ <p>The lowest repeat of a regular satin comprises five threads of each
+ system, and the interlacing is done in the following order:</p>
+
+ <div class="c">
+ <table>
+ <tr><td>The</td><td>1st</td><td>pick</td><td>with the</td><td>1st</td><td>warp-thread</td></tr>
+ <tr><td class="c">"</td><td>2d</td><td class="c">"</td><td class="c">"</td><td>3d</td><td class="c">"</td></tr>
+ <tr><td class="c">"</td><td>3d</td><td class="c">"</td><td class="c">"</td><td>5th</td><td class="c">"</td></tr>
+ <tr><td class="c">"</td><td>4th</td><td class="c">"</td><td class="c">"</td><td>2d</td><td class="c">"</td></tr>
+ <tr><td class="c">"</td><td>5th</td><td class="c">"</td><td class="c">"</td><td>4th</td><td class="c">"</td></tr>
+ </table>
+ </div>
+
+ <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_43">43</a> 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 <i>counter</i>, 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.</p>
+
+ <p>The following is the rule to find the counter for any regular
+ satin:</p>
+
+ <p>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. According to this
+ rule we obtain a regular satin</p>

+<h4>2. From the Twills</h4>
+
+ <p>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.</p>

+
+<h3>CANNELE and REPP WEAVES</h3>
+
+ <p>are in their construction related to the taffeta, and are used mostly
+ in the form of stripes as an additional ornament to a fabric. 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.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>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 following designs show
+ both the face and backside of the respective weaves:</p>

+
+<h3>DOUBLE FACED FABRICS</h3>
+
+ <p>In this class we find either two systems of warp or of filling so
+ combined that only one will be visible on either side. 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.</p>

+<h3>PEKINS</h3>
+
+ <p>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.</p>

+
+<h3>1. 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. REDUCTION OF THE FILLING</h3>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+<h3>9. 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. 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:</p>
+
+<h4>Warp Calculation</h4>
+
+ <div class="blkquot">
+ <table>
+ <tr><td><i>Multiply:</i></td><td><u>Number of ends × length × count</u></td><td rowspan="2" class="vc">&nbsp;&nbsp;= lbs</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><i>Divide by:</i></td><td class="c">1000 yards × 256 drams</td></tr>
+ </table>
+ </div>
+
+<!-- Page 72 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_72"></a>[pg 72]</span>
+
+<h4>Filling Calculation</h4>
+
+ <div class="blkquot">
+ <table>
+ <tr><td><i>Multiply:</i></td><td><u>Picks × xply × width × length of piece × count</u></td><td rowspan="2" class="vc">&nbsp;&nbsp;= lbs</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><i>Divide by:</i></td><td class="c">1000 yards × 256 drams</td></tr>
+ </table>
+ </div>
+
+ <div class="blkquot">
+ <p>The result in both cases will be in pounds.</p>
+ </div>
+
+ <p>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:</p>
+
+ <table>
+ <tr><td class="r">1</td><td>skein of</td><td>500</td><td>meters,</td><td>weighing</td><td>0,05</td><td>grams</td><td>= 1</td><td>denier</td><td colspan="2">international</td></tr>
+ <tr><td>or 1</td><td class="c">"</td><td>476</td><td class="c">"</td><td class="c">"</td><td>0,053</td><td class="c">"</td><td> = 1</td><td class="c">"</td><td>Turin</td><td>system</td></tr>

+ </table>
+
+ <p>The warp calculation, taking the international denier, would run:</p>
+
+ <div class="blkquot">
+ <table>
+ <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><u>ends in warp × length × denier × 0,05 gram</u></td></tr>
+ <tr><td><i>divided by:</i></td><td class="c">500 meters</td></tr>

+ </table>

+
+ <div class="blkquot">

+<h3>10. FINISHING</h3>
+
+ <p>Give directions as to the process of finishing to which the goods are
+ to be subjected, whether to be pressed, calendered, sized, moiréd,
+ etc.</p>
+
+<h3>11. CALCULATION OF COST</h3>
+
+ <p>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 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_73"></a>[pg 73]</span>
+ 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.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>

+
+<h3>JACQUARD WEAVES</h3>
+
+ <p>Jacquard weaves usually show on a plain ground figure or flower
+ effects. 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>
+

+
+<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>
+

+
+<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. Many large firms have their
+ own selling end, and some have their sales guaranteed by a commission
+ house or a bank.</p>
+
+<!-- Page 103 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_103"></a>[pg 103]</span>
+
+<h3>CALCULATIONS</h3>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>Calculations are usually made per 100 yards, 100-meter warps.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>DISP. 7&mdash;A 3 1/3-inch repeat can be obtained with a 600-hook
+ jacquard machine, seven repeats in a width of 23 inches.</p>
+
+ <p>DISP. 8&mdash;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.</p>
+
+ <p>DISP. 10&mdash;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.</p>
+
+<h4>CANTON CREPE</h4>
+
+ <p>DISP. 9&mdash;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.</p>

+PREFACE
+
+The silk industry of America has of late years rapidly advanced to the
+front rank among the great textile industries of the world. 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."

+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. 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.

+
+[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.

+
+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.

+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.

+
+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. According to this rule
+we obtain a regular satin
+
+ On 5 harness with counter 2
+ " 7 " " 2 or 3
+ " 8 " " 3
+ " 9 " " 2 or 4
+ " 10 " " 3
+ " 11 " " 2, 3, 4 or 5
+ " 12 " " 5
+ " 13 " " 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6
+ " 14 " " 3 or 5
+ " 15 " " 2, 4 or 7
+ " 16 " " 3, 5 or 7.
+
+ [Page 34]
+The 4 harness broken twill, Fig. 53, is sometimes classed among the satins.
+
+The 6 harness satin, Fig. 54, is irregular; as a counter cannot be derived
+from number 6 by the given rule. The rotation generally used is 1, 3, 6, 4,
+2, 5.

+
+DERIVATIVE WEAVES
+
+#1. From the Taffeta#
+
+_Royale_ is a modification of the regular Gros de Tours, inasmuch as the
+rib line, which in the latter runs straight across the cloth, is broken off
+after a given number of warp-threads. These groups, which may comprise 8,
+12 or more threads, will interlace each one pick higher than the preceding
+one.
+
+_Royale of 8 ends_
+
+On 2 sections of 4 shafts each.
+
+[Illustration: Fig. 55]
+
+ * * * *
+
+_Velours Ottoman or Faille française._
+
+In order to obtain a broader rib than that of Gros de Tours, and at the
+same time to lend firmness to the fabric, we add to the ground warp, which
+forms the ribs, another or binder warp, which works continually taffeta,
+ [Page 42]
+while the ground warp changes only every 3 or 4 picks for the rib.
+
+_Faille française._
+
+ 4 ends of ground on the first section of 8 shafts, skip draw.
+ 1 " binder " second " 2 "
+
+[Illustration: Fig. 56]
+
+ * * * *
+
+_Velours Ottoman without a Binder-warp._
+
+In this weave, of which Fig. 57 illustrates a specimen, comprising 8
+warp-threads and 32 picks in a repeat, the rib contains 4 picks. Of the 8
+warp-threads, 3 float over and 3 under the rib, while the 2 others bind
+taffeta, which latter function is executed by 2 other threads in the next
+rib.
+
+ [Page 43]
+[Illustration: Fig. 57]
+
+ * * * * *
+
+2. 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.

+CANNELE and REPP WEAVES
+
+are in their construction related to the taffeta, and are used mostly in
+the form of stripes as an additional ornament to a fabric. 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 following designs show both
+the face and backside of the respective weaves:

+DOUBLE FACED FABRICS
+
+In this class we find either two systems of warp or of filling so combined
+that only one will be visible on either side. 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.

+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.

+BAYADÈRES
+
+While pekins are formed by warp stripes, bayadère shows us stripes of
+different weaves running in the direction of the filling. The rules given
+in the previous chapter as to the joining of the weaves will also apply
+here. The warp which was raised on the last pick of the weave must stay
+down wherever possible on the first pick of the following weave. The number
+of shafts employed must go up evenly in the repeat of each one of the
+weaves that go into the make up of the bayadère.

+ [Page 68]
+1. 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.

+JACQUARD WEAVES
+
+Jacquard weaves usually show on a plain ground figure or flower effects. 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.

+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be

+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project

+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. 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. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. 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. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. 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. Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+ Dr. Gregory B. 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

+
+<h3>PREFACE</h3>
+
+ <p>The silk industry of America has of late years rapidly advanced to the
+ front rank among the great textile industries of the world. 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. Decomposition or analysis of the cloth.</b></p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>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."</p>

+<h2>THEORY OF SILK WEAVING</h2>
+
+<h3>DRAWING-IN</h3>
+
+ <p>With this term we designate the operation preceding the weaving, by
+ which all the warp-threads are drawn through the heddles of the
+ harness.</p>
+
+ <p>The order in which this is done varies according to the weave and the
+ nature of the fabric to be produced; so we distinguish:</p>
+
+ <p class="i8"><b>Straight draws,</b></p>
+ <p class="i8"><b>Skip draws,</b></p>
+ <p class="i8"><b>Point draws,</b></p>
+ <p class="i8"><b>Section draws.</b></p>
+
+<hr />
+
+<h3>STRAIGHT DRAWS</h3>
+
+<a name="Fig_1"></a>
+<div class="figcenter">
+<img src="images/fig1.png"
+alt="Fig. 1" /><br />Fig. 1
+ </div>
+<hr class="short"/>
+
+<!-- Page 8 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8"></a>[pg 8]</span>
+
+<a name="Fig_2"></a>
+<div class="figcenter">
+<img src="images/fig2.png"
+alt="Fig. 2" /><br />Fig. 2
+ </div>
+ <p>These form the simplest and most common method of drawing-in. 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. Fig. <a
+ href="#Fig_2">2</a> is such a draft, illustrating six repeats of a draw
+ on four harness from "Front to Rear."</p>

+</div>
+
+ <p>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. <a
+ href="#Fig_3">3</a>, runs as follows: 1, 3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 6, 8.</p>
+
+ <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_4">4</a> is a 12 harness draw of the same
+ class.</p>

+
+<!-- Page 11 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11"></a>[pg 11]</span>
+
+ <p>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. <a href="#Fig_5">5</a> 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.</p>
+
+ <p>The drawing-in draft illustrated in Fig. <a href="#Fig_6">6</a> 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 <i>double point</i>.</p>
+
+ <p>Another change from the regular point draw is illustrated in Figs. <a
+ href="#Fig_7">7</a> and <a href="#Fig_8">8</a>; this class may be called
+ <i>Broken point draws</i>, because a new draw is begun before the other
+ one is complete. Fig. <a href="#Fig_9">9</a> also comes in this class and
+ represents a <i>zigzag draw</i> on 10 harness.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>

+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>The following examples will illustrate the principle of these
+ draws.</p>
+
+ <p>In Fig. <a href="#Fig_10">10</a>, 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.</p>
+
+ <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_11">11</a>, first set shafts 1 to 6 inclusive,
+ second set shafts 7 and 8.</p>
+
+ <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_12">12</a> is drawn end and end on two sections
+ having 8 shafts each.</p>
+
+ <p>Figs. <a href="#Fig_13">13</a>, <a href="#Fig_14">14</a> and <a
+ href="#Fig_15">15</a>, 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.</p>

+
+<h3>THE WEAVES
+AND THEIR CONSTRUCTION</h3>
+
+ <p>In any woven fabric we distinguish two systems of threads, the <i>Warp
+ or Chain</i>, running lengthways in the cloth, and the <i>Filling or
+ Weft</i>, crossing the former at right angles.</p>
+
+ <p>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 <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&mdash;and properly
+ indeed&mdash;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>

+
+ <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. 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.</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>

+<h3>SATIN WEAVES</h3>
+
+ <p>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
+<!-- Page 33 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_33"></a>[pg 33]</span>
+ to create an entirely smooth and
+ brilliant surface on the cloth.</p>
+
+ <p>In all satins the number of ends in a repeat is the same in warp and
+ filling.</p>
+
+ <p>The lowest repeat of a regular satin comprises five threads of each
+ system, and the interlacing is done in the following order:</p>
+
+ <div class="c">
+ <table>
+ <tr><td>The</td><td>1st</td><td>pick</td><td>with the</td><td>1st</td><td>warp-thread</td></tr>
+ <tr><td class="c">"</td><td>2d</td><td class="c">"</td><td class="c">"</td><td>3d</td><td class="c">"</td></tr>
+ <tr><td class="c">"</td><td>3d</td><td class="c">"</td><td class="c">"</td><td>5th</td><td class="c">"</td></tr>
+ <tr><td class="c">"</td><td>4th</td><td class="c">"</td><td class="c">"</td><td>2d</td><td class="c">"</td></tr>
+ <tr><td class="c">"</td><td>5th</td><td class="c">"</td><td class="c">"</td><td>4th</td><td class="c">"</td></tr>
+ </table>
+ </div>
+
+ <p>Fig. <a href="#Fig_43">43</a> 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 <i>counter</i>, 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.</p>
+
+ <p>The following is the rule to find the counter for any regular
+ satin:</p>
+
+ <p>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. According to this
+ rule we obtain a regular satin</p>
+
+ <div class="c">

+ <p><i>Royale</i> is a modification of the regular Gros de Tours, inasmuch
+ as the rib line, which in the latter runs straight across the cloth, is
+ broken off after a given number of warp-threads. These groups, which may

+
+<p class="c"><i>Velours Ottoman or Faille française.</i></p>
+
+ <p>In order to obtain a broader rib than that of Gros de Tours, and at

+ contains 4 picks. Of the 8 warp-threads, 3 float over and 3 under the

+<h4>2. From the Twills</h4>
+
+ <p>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.</p>

+
+<h3>CANNELE and REPP WEAVES</h3>
+
+ <p>are in their construction related to the taffeta, and are used mostly
+ in the form of stripes as an additional ornament to a fabric. 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.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>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 following designs show
+ both the face and backside of the respective weaves:</p>

+<h3>DOUBLE FACED FABRICS</h3>
+
+ <p>In this class we find either two systems of warp or of filling so
+ combined that only one will be visible on either side. 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.</p>

+<h3>PEKINS</h3>
+
+ <p>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.</p>

+
+<h3>1. 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. REDUCTION OF THE FILLING</h3>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+<h3>9. 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. 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:</p>
+
+<h4>Warp Calculation</h4>
+
+ <div class="blkquot">
+ <table>
+ <tr><td><i>Multiply:</i></td><td><u>Number of ends × length × count</u></td><td rowspan="2" class="vc">&nbsp;&nbsp;= lbs</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><i>Divide by:</i></td><td class="c">1000 yards × 256 drams</td></tr>
+ </table>
+ </div>
+
+<!-- Page 72 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_72"></a>[pg 72]</span>
+
+<h4>Filling Calculation</h4>
+
+ <div class="blkquot">
+ <table>
+ <tr><td><i>Multiply:</i></td><td><u>Picks × xply × width × length of piece × count</u></td><td rowspan="2" class="vc">&nbsp;&nbsp;= lbs</td></tr>
+ <tr><td><i>Divide by:</i></td><td class="c">1000 yards × 256 drams</td></tr>
+ </table>
+ </div>
+
+ <div class="blkquot">
+ <p>The result in both cases will be in pounds.</p>
+ </div>
+
+ <p>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:</p>
+
+ <table>
+ <tr><td class="r">1</td><td>skein of</td><td>500</td><td>meters,</td><td>weighing</td><td>0,05</td><td>grams</td><td>= 1</td><td>denier</td><td colspan="2">international</td></tr>
+ <tr><td>or 1</td><td class="c">"</td><td>476</td><td class="c">"</td><td class="c">"</td><td>0,053</td><td class="c">"</td><td> = 1</td><td class="c">"</td><td>Turin</td><td>system</td></tr>
+ <tr><td>or 1</td><td class="c">"</td><td>476</td><td class="c">"</td><td class="c">"</td><td>0,051</td><td class="c">"</td><td>= 1</td><td class="c">"</td><td>Milan</td><td class="c">"</td></tr>
+ </table>
+
+ <p>The warp calculation, taking the international denier, would run:</p>
+
+ <div class="blkquot">
+ <table>
+ <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><u>ends in warp × length × denier × 0,05 gram</u></td></tr>
+ <tr><td><i>divided by:</i></td><td class="c">500 meters</td></tr>
+ </table>
+ </div>
+
+ <div class="blkquot">
+ <table>
+ <tr><td>for the filling:</td><td><u>Picks per meter × xply × width × denier × 0,05 gram</u></td></tr>
+ <tr><td><i>divided by:</i></td><td class="c">500 meters</td></tr>
+ </table>
+ </div>
+
+ <div class="blkquot">
+ <p>Result in metric weight, kilograms and grams.</p>
+ </div>
+
+<h3>10. FINISHING</h3>
+
+ <p>Give directions as to the process of finishing to which the goods are
+ to be subjected, whether to be pressed, calendered, sized, moiréd,
+ etc.</p>
+
+<h3>11. CALCULATION OF COST</h3>
+
+ <p>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 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_73"></a>[pg 73]</span>
+ 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.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>

+
+<h3>JACQUARD WEAVES</h3>
+
+ <p>Jacquard weaves usually show on a plain ground figure or flower
+ effects. 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. Many large firms have their
+ own selling end, and some have their sales guaranteed by a commission
+ house or a bank.</p>
+
+<!-- Page 103 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_103"></a>[pg 103]</span>
+
+<h3>CALCULATIONS</h3>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>Calculations are usually made per 100 yards, 100-meter warps.</p>
+
+ <p>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.</p>
+
+ <p>DISP. 7&mdash;A 3 1/3-inch repeat can be obtained with a 600-hook
+ jacquard machine, seven repeats in a width of 23 inches.</p>
+
+ <p>DISP. 8&mdash;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.</p>
+
+ <p>DISP. 10&mdash;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.</p>
+
+<h4>CANTON CREPE</h4>
+
+ <p>DISP. 9&mdash;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.</p>

+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project

+
+
+Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
+ owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+ has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+ sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+ address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+ the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or
+ destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+ and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+ Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+ money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+ electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+ of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm

+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. 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. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. 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

+
+Section 2. 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.

+
+
+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.

+PREFACE
+
+The silk industry of America has of late years rapidly advanced to the
+front rank among the great textile industries of the world. 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."

+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]

+

+
+ * * * *
+
+[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.

+
+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.

+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.

+
+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. According to this rule
+we obtain a regular satin
+
+ On 5 harness with counter 2
+ " 7 " " 2 or 3
+ " 8 " " 3
+ " 9 " " 2 or 4
+ " 10 " " 3
+ " 11 " " 2, 3, 4 or 5
+ " 12 " " 5
+ " 13 " " 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6

+ " 15 " " 2, 4 or 7

+
+ [Page 34]
+The 4 harness broken twill, Fig. 53, is sometimes classed among the satins.
+
+The 6 harness satin, Fig. 54, is irregular; as a counter cannot be derived
+from number 6 by the given rule. The rotation generally used is 1, 3, 6, 4,
+2, 5.

+
+DERIVATIVE WEAVES
+
+#1. From the Taffeta#
+
+_Royale_ is a modification of the regular Gros de Tours, inasmuch as the
+rib line, which in the latter runs straight across the cloth, is broken off
+after a given number of warp-threads. These groups, which may comprise 8,
+12 or more threads, will interlace each one pick higher than the preceding
+one.
+
+_Royale of 8 ends_
+
+On 2 sections of 4 shafts each.
+
+[Illustration: Fig. 55]
+
+ * * * *
+
+_Velours Ottoman or Faille francaise._
+
+In order to obtain a broader rib than that of Gros de Tours, and at the
+same time to lend firmness to the fabric, we add to the ground warp, which
+forms the ribs, another or binder warp, which works continually taffeta,
+ [Page 42]
+while the ground warp changes only every 3 or 4 picks for the rib.
+
+_Faille francaise._
+
+ 4 ends of ground on the first section of 8 shafts, skip draw.
+ 1 " binder " second " 2 "
+
+[Illustration: Fig. 56]
+
+ * * * *
+
+_Velours Ottoman without a Binder-warp._
+
+In this weave, of which Fig. 57 illustrates a specimen, comprising 8
+warp-threads and 32 picks in a repeat, the rib contains 4 picks. Of the 8
+warp-threads, 3 float over and 3 under the rib, while the 2 others bind
+taffeta, which latter function is executed by 2 other threads in the next
+rib.
+
+ [Page 43]
+[Illustration: Fig. 57]
+
+ * * * * *
+
+2. 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.

+or cut line across the fabric.

+
+_Satin Grec_ is a 12-harness satin, in which a taffeta point is added to

+
+ [Page 49]
+CANNELE and REPP WEAVES
+
+are in their construction related to the taffeta, and are used mostly in
+the form of stripes as an additional ornament to a fabric. 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 following designs show both
+the face and backside of the respective weaves:

+
+ [Page 55]
+DOUBLE FACED FABRICS
+
+In this class we find either two systems of warp or of filling so combined
+that only one will be visible on either side. 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.

+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.

+BAYADERES
+
+While pekins are formed by warp stripes, bayadere shows us stripes of
+different weaves running in the direction of the filling. The rules given
+in the previous chapter as to the joining of the weaves will also apply
+here. The warp which was raised on the last pick of the weave must stay
+down wherever possible on the first pick of the following weave. The number
+of shafts employed must go up evenly in the repeat of each one of the
+weaves that go into the make up of the bayadere.

+DECOMPOSITION
+
+Under the name of _Disposition_ we comprise all those points and details
+which we must ascertain before we can proceed with the construction of a
+fabric. They are:

+ 1. #The weave.#
+
+ 2. #Length and width of the cloth.#
+
+ 3. #The stock and the dyeing thereof.#
+
+ 4. #Reed calculation# (number of dents and ends per inch and total number
+ of dents required).
+
+ 5. #Drawing-in the warp in harness and reed.#
+
+ 6. #Texture and arrangement of warp# (warping ticket)

+ [Page 68]
+1. 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.

+JACQUARD WEAVES
+
+Jacquard weaves usually show on a plain ground figure or flower effects. 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.

+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.

+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+

+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or

+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. 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. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE

+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.

+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

+
+Section 2. 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 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.
