ADVANCED TEXTILE DESIGN. PREFACE THE designing and colouring of cloths, which are composed of one series of warp and one series of weft threads, are exhaustively treated in the accompanying book, entitled "Textile Design and Colour, Elementary Weaves and Figured Fabrics." This book forms a continuation of the subject, and deals in an equally complete manner with compound and special cloths in which two or more series of threads are employed in one or both directions, or which are produced in special methods. There is no separate section on colour, but the principles upon which colours are applied to the various classes of cloths are described and illustrated. Many branches of Textile Design need specialisation, and with this object in view, and as an aid to the adequate treatment of each branch, a large proportion of the matter contained in this work has been specially prepared in the form of separate serial articles which have appeared in textile journals. Originally published in 191

Watson's advanced textile design: Compound woven structures is a companion volume to Watson's textile design and colour. It represents a continuation of the subject and deals with compound woven structures. This edition was revised and rewritten by Z Grosicki and the changes were brought about by modern advances in manufacturing and the need for a more logical organisation of the book.

Watson's textile design and colour: Elementary weaves and figured fabrics was first published in 1912 and has been revised several times by the original author and a number of other well respected textile experts. This edition revised by Z Grosicki has been rewritten, reorganised and new approaches have been added to allow a clear understanding of the nature of woven structures. Watson's textile design and colour is a comprehensive treatise on simple woven cloth construction and design.

The lifting plan of the healds for a top doup is just opposite to that for a bottom doup if the doup is in front of the front crossing heald in both cases, but the easer is operated at the same time in both. Denting Net Lenos.--As each group of crossing and standard ends must be placed together in one split of the reed, the denting of these styles is a very important feature. For example, in the fabric represented in Fig. 252, there are 22 ends in each plain stripe which are reeded 2 per split, while in the narrow doup stripe there are 2 groups of ends which must be placed in two splits, and in the broad doup stripe 5 groups, which must be placed in 5 splits. The narrow doup stripe, however, occupies the width of 12 ends, or 6 splits of the plain stripe, and the broad doup stripe the width of 26 ends or 13 splits. Sometimes the required spacing of the ends is obtained by plucking out the wires of the reed at the proper places, but this has the disadvantage that the reed can then only be used for a similar form of stripe. As a general rule, the effect can be produced by suitably missing splits between the groups of ends, the double standard ends, in working plain, readily spreading out and filling up the spaces. Fig. 253. If the reed is fine and there is a considerable number of ends to a split, there may be too much friction upon the warp, but this can be reduced by tying the wires of the empty splits together with twine near the balks, and thus widening the spaces between the wires where the ends are passed. The denting of the stripe given in Fig. 252 is indicated by the horizontal lines below the draft E in Fig....
