TECHNOLOGY OF TEXTILE



DESIGN



By E. A. Posselt

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Eight years have expired since the first edition of “TECHNOLOGY~ or
TEXTILE DESIGN” was published. The book has been an immense success,
surpassing in its sale in this country and Europe any other book on
the designing of Textile fabrics ever published. The value of this
book is proven by the fact that its sale is constantly increasing, a
feature which convinced the author of the necessity of publishing an
entirely revised edition, adding all such chapters on new methods of
Designing and Manufacturing as during the past eight years came to his
notice, and also those which he was convinced should have been more
thoroughly treated in former editions.



This feature has been successfully accomplished in the present
edition; some 500 new illustra*tions of weaves and diagrams of fabrics
have been added, making the book ~n its present state the greatest
work on the Designing and Manufacturing of Textile fabrics ever
published. Time and money have not been spared in the production of
these 500 new illustrations, they having been prepared with the
greatest of care, making them superior to all others ever before
published. In its present state the work will not only find its way to
all parties not yet possessing a copy, but it will eagerly be again
bought by those possessing old editions, since the new chapters added
contain the most advanced points on Designing and Manufacturing of
Textile fabrics.



These new chapters—of the greatest of interest to the Designer and
Manufacturer are



A New Me//lcd of Designing Weaves by Four C’Iianges; S/laded Fabrics,’
Soleil Weaves,’ (‘hecked Pa/tei ns Produced by Means of S/razg-h/ and

Twills into Large Diagonals,. Combination of 82° and 63° Twils; How to

Bracket Weaves.



Although adding these new subjects explained by some 500 new
illustrations—a great many of them being masterpieces in designing,
engraving and typesetting, covering either entirely or nearly whole
pages of the book—the Author and Publisher has concluded not to
increase the cost, but thus offers, the work to the public at the
extremely cheap price of five dollars a copy, although knowing that
there is not and will not be, in the near future, a work of that kind
in print which can attempt to even reach the old editions. The new
work will prove a veritable mine of informa*tion to the Student,
Operative, Overseer, Designer, Mill Manager, Commission Merchant and
Manufacturer. – From the Preface
