Manuscript notes on weaving
A manuscript of hand-drawn mechanical notes on weaving and textile machinery, attributed to James Holmes, probably made in Burnley, apparently for personal study or workshop reference rather than print. The four pictures are pencil and ink sketches of pulleys, a geared drum with a hooked lever, a stepped gear train on shafts, and a cam-and-lever linkage numbered 138, offering a designer loose, schematic line diagrams of working parts.
