old book for sale on ebay
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 Fancy Draws,~ Craj5e Weaves,’ Huck Pa/ferns; Woven Tucks,’ C’rimj’ S/riJ~es; Bedford Cords,’ Crocodile Cloth,’ Combination of Bedford Cords,~ C’om~’i*na/ion of 15° Twills ‘®‘; C’ombina/ion of 15° Twills with Weaves of Another System,’ Combination of Granite Weaves; Combination of ~5° Twils 2®2, ~ 3®3, 2®1, etc.,’ Combination of 63° Twills; Combination of Motives of Weaves 2® z,~ ü~nbina lion of 75° Twills into Large Diagonals,. Combination of 82° and 63° Twils; How to Increase the Thickness of a Fabric Wit/tout Sftecial Backing Threads; 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 Published 1900 By E. A.
