Weaving instruction paper issued in 1903 by the American School of Chicago, written by H. William Nelson, for students learning the craft. The pictures are plain line diagrams of loom mechanisms, including a pivoted lever, a ring-shaped dial with radial divisions, and a friction and gear let-off with labelled parts, which a designer could use as clean technical line art for mechanical or machine-themed work.
