A 1914 New York technical reference on knit fabric principles and machine knitting, by Ernest Tompkins with the Wildman Manufacturing Company, written for students, machine operators, manufacturers and analysts. Its pictures are line diagrams of interlooped stitch structures, a close-up of a yarn feeding over a needle, and a photographed knitted band, which a designer could draw on for textile pattern repeats and loop-based geometric motifs.
