JAMES HENRY OPENSHAW Albion and Albert Mills Bury, Lancashire Cotton
Spinner and Fustian Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention consists of a new method for weaving cotton cords.
As it is considered essential in the trade that these cloths should have a good
appearance and show what is technically called "curl" upon the face, and as this
quality is very difficult to obtain in light weight cloths, my new method is intended
to overcome this difficulty and to obtain a good appearance or "curl"
of lighter weight than heretofore.
