The art of weaving, by hand and by power, : with an introductory account of its rise and progress in ancient and modern times. For the use of manufacturers and others.
Clinton G. Gilroy's 1844 New York technical manual on hand and power weaving, written for manufacturers, mill operators and textile workers, with a historical introduction. The 190 wood-engraved plates are line diagrams of looms, gearing, spindles and frames, drawn in elevation and section with lettered part keys — useful for machine silhouettes, gear and pulley motifs, and thread-path linework.
