Textile fabrics
Textile fabrics is a 1923 technical handbook by Elizabeth Dyer, published in Boston and New York by Houghton Mifflin, aimed at students and readers learning about cloth construction. Its pictures are plain black-and-white diagrams: a grid of filled squares showing two-and-two, four-shaft and other weave structures, and concentric ring diagrams marked A and B. A designer could take from them the geometry of woven repeats, twills and diagonal pattern built from simple squares.
