Manuscript notes on weaving
A 1912 manuscript of notes on weaving by James Holmes, M.S.A., published in Burnley by Lupton Bros., likely written for cotton weavers and mechanics working on looms. The pictures are hand-drawn pen diagrams of loom mechanisms: linkages, pivoting levers, cam-like shapes, and a row of stepped box-position sketches, plus blank graph-paper grids for planning woven patterns. A designer might take from them the plain line-drawn technical style, with ruled grids and numbered figure labels suited to instructional diagrams.
