PREFACE TO SIXTH EDITION
ANOTHER Edition having been called for has given opportunity for a revision of the work in several directions. The most notable addition is that of Chapter IX., which is quite new and deals with Automatic Weft-replenishing Devices. It is hoped this will be of considerable help in giving weaving students clear ideas on a phase of the subject which is growing rapidly, and will tend to still greater importance as increased production becomes more necessary. Quite a number of new illustrations have been substituted for old ones.
