Fig. XVIII.
In [Fig. XIX.] the comber-board is arranged for a texture of half as many ends, or 50 holes per inch, and the 10 strips are arranged accordingly; the empty places between the strips are of same size as the strips themselves, and the fabric design below the comber-board is arranged to correspond.
Fig. XX.
[Fig. XX.] illustrates the sectional cut of the comber-board used in drawings, Figs.[ XVIII.] and [XIX.], and the letters indicating the different parts of these figures which correspond.
Divisions of the Comber-board.
Under this heading we classify one repeat of the arrangement of threading harness-cords in the comber-board, and therefore one repeat of the design of the fabric. We find fabrics in which are used one or more divisions of one system of threading harness-cords in the comber-board; again, there are others in which one or more divisions of one system are combined with one or more divisions of another, or even of two or three other systems.
