Scales are listed in the table of contents with subject and author indexes. Now I can use the Fairchild's Dictionary of Textiles 7th ed. The definitions in Fairchild's are detailed and practically every page includes illustrations. Terms no longer in general use have an archival marking. An Appendix describes textile associations worldwide.
Some entries have illustrations.
Cross references and a large index which is not the same as the terms in the main section helps to locate subjects. A separate section identifies acronyms. There is a small bibliography divided by primary, secondary, and miscellaneous sources.
