Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Technology of Textile Design: Being a Practical Treatise on the Construction and Application of Weaves for All Textile Fabrics, With Minute Reference to the Latest Inventions for Weaving
An experience of several years as Principal of The Textile Department Of the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art, has shown the author of this work the necessity and value of a Text-book on Textile Designing and Weaving. The absence of any such guide to the study has induced him to prepare this work, which he trusts will be useful not only to the student as a Text - book, but also to the manufacturer as a book of reference. The results arrived at by the completion Of this work, will be greatly-enhanced in their value to practical men, when assured that a life-time Of actual service in the mills of this country and Europe has been enjoyed by the author, and that the ripe experience of such practical knowledge has been closely interwoven with the results herein fully set forth.
The favor so generously accorded his previous book entitled The jacquard Machine Analyzed and Explained; the Preparation Of Jacquard Cards, and Practical Hints to Learners of Jacquard Designing, greatly encouraged him in the prepara tion of this work, and it is sent forth with the earnest desire that it may likewise win the approval of the public and aid in developing and extending a deeper interest in the subject.
