The theory and practice of the art of weaving : by hand and power, with calculations and tables, for the use of those connected with the trade
A technical manual by John Watson, a Scottish manufacturer, published in Glasgow in 1873 for those working in the weaving trade, covering both hand and power looms. The pictures are engineering plates of loom mechanisms drawn in fine black line on cream paper, with numbered figures, sectional views and labelled parts, useful to a designer for mechanical line diagrams and period technical drawing layouts.
