Mill organization
Mill organization, a 1900 Lowell, Massachusetts text by Gilbert R. Merrill, written for cotton mill managers and spinners as a practical guide to running textile works. The pictures are plain engineering charts of yarn count against breaking weight and twist contraction against twist multipliers, drawn in black ink on grid paper with fine curves and lettered reference lines, offering a designer a clear template for technical diagram layouts, axis labelling and restrained monochrome data graphics.
