Straight-Through and Point Tie-ups Combined.
C.—For fabrics having the centre for straight-through, with the border for straight-through and point tie-ups, (half divisions), combined.
Fig. XLVI.
Fig. XLVII.
This method of tying-up is illustrated in [Fig. XLVI.], and the fabric produced in [Fig. XLVII.] With this method of tying-up is usually introduced an extra margin for the purpose of separating the ornamentation of the design, so as to permit of a clearer definition. This is tied-up on 8 needles and hooks, situated between border and centre, (24 ends) shown at margin B in the design. The centre of the fabric, (two divisions only illustrated out of ten actually used), is tied-up on the straight-through method, requiring for its working, harness-cords 1 to 240. The border has the point tie-up in half sections; these half sections have a straight-through tie-up design in its centre. Harness-cords 241 to 456 are used for the straight-through section, and 457 to 600 for the point tie-up section. The margin is produced by harness-cords 601 to 608, leaving 16 needles and hooks of the machine unemployed, which may be used for selvedge or other purposes. The drawing of this tie-up and fabric illustrates only the right-hand side. The complete design requires, in addition to the borders and margins, 10 divisions or repeats in the centre. The figure shows only two of these repeats and border and margins of one side. The number of ends in the fabric is found as follows:
| Centre, | 10 × 240 | = | 2400 ends. |
| Border, | {point, 4 × 144 = 576} {straight, 2 × 216 = 432} | = | 1008 ends. |
| Margin, | {between border and centre, 24 × 2 = 48} {between border and selvedge, 48 × 2 = 96} | = | 144 ends. |
| Selvedge, not indicated in drawing of tie-up, | = | 48 ends. | |
