Leaving one complete row of the reserve to use for selvedge, etc., if required.

In drawing, [Fig. XLI.], we only illustrate centre and border of the tie-up, so as not to confuse the eye by too many lines, and, as mentioned at the beginning, employed [Fig. XLII.] for illustrating the ground plan for selvedge and margin. In selvedge and margin the harness-cords are indicated by consecutive numbers, thus:
Margin, 1 to 48.
Selvedge, 1 to 24.
When threading margin in comber-board:
1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, call for the same leash.
2, 10, 18, 26, 34, 42, call for the same leash.
3, 11, 19, 27, 35, 43, call for the same leash.
4, 12, 20, 28, 36, 44, call for the same leash.
5, 13, 21, 29, 37, 45, call for the same leash.
6, 14, 22, 30, 38, 46, call for the same leash.
7, 15, 23, 31, 39, 47, call for the same leash.
8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, call for the same leash.
Leashes in centre part of fabric, 1 to 400 call for 6 harness-cords.
Leashes in border part of fabric, 401 to 604 call for 14 harness-cords.
Leashes in margin part of fabric, 605 to 612 call for 12 harness-cords.
Leashes for selvedge if using 4 hooks, 613 to 616 call for 12 harness-cords.
This tie-up is the one most frequently employed in the manufacture of damask table-covers. Not only will drawings and explanations lead to a thorough understanding of the procedure, but they will also readily show the great variety of textile fabrics to which the principle of this tie-up may be applied.
