+
+<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>

+
+ <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

+<hr class="short"/>
+
+<a name="Fig_17"></a>
+<div class="figcenter">

+ </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>

+
+<!-- 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>
+
+ <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>
+
+ <div class="c">

+ <tr><td>On</td><td class="r">5</td><td>harness</td><td>with counter</td><td>2</td></tr>

+<h4><b>1. From the Taffeta</b></h4>
+
+ <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
+ comprise 8, 12 or more threads, will interlace each one pick higher than
+ the preceding one.</p>

+
+<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

+<!-- Page 42 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_42"></a>[pg 42]</span>
+ or binder warp, which works continually
+ taffeta, while the ground warp changes only every 3 or 4 picks for the

+ 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

+
+<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>

+ 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

+
+<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>
