Recent improvements in textile machinery is a late-nineteenth-century technical survey by the engineer Emanuel Anthony Posselt, published in Philadelphia and London in 1898 for mill engineers and weaving industry men. Its pictures are mechanical line drawings of looms and gearing, with numbered parts, cutaway sections and labelled shafts, showing how linkages, cams and levers were arranged, which a designer could borrow for diagrammatic, industrial or engineering-style graphics.
