Présentation de l'éditeur
When the hand-loom was in general use weaving mechanism was of a comparatively simple type, and weaving depended almost entirely upon the handicraft skill of the weaver; but with the introduction of the power-loom the whole system was changed, and weaving practically became a new industry. With new machinery, and new processes, a want of definite information respecting their true functions and actions was keenly felt, and books began to be published which dealt with the more pressing problems. Nevertheless, when an impetus was given to technical education by the establishment of technical schools, a great lack of this class of literature was fully revealed. During recent years several admirable books have been wT itten on weaving, but it has been too much the custom to consider designing, fabric structure, and calculations relating thereto, as the only important parts of the subject. Hence, only one treatise has appeared within the last twenty years in which the mechanical side of weaving has not been subordinated to the structural side.
