For the purposes of our invention we employ two different warps, one for the face-

two, three, or four fold, and may be drawn in one or two or more in the heald.

increased amount of twist therein, and resembling what is known in the trade as
"Crape" yarn, and may be drawn in one or two or more in the heald as may be
preferred.

We HENRY ORMEROD HUTCHINSON and W. & J. HUTCHINSON, LIMITED,.
both of Daisy Field Mill, Bury, in the County of Lancaster, Cotton Spinners and
Manufacturers, 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
This invention consists of a new and improved method of weaving certain cotton
cords known in the trade as "Patents" and "Broken twill backs," whereby we
are enabled to obtain an improved "curl" in the finished cloth.
For the purposes of our invention we employ two different warps one for the
face ends and the other for the back ends, the warp for the face ends may be made
of either single yarn or of two or more fold yarn, or mixed threads of each, and
may be drawn in one or two or more in the heald.

The warp for the back ends is made of yarn doubled two or more fold, with an
increased amount of twist therein and resembling what is known in the trade as
Crape yarn," and the extra twist may be put in in any manner which may be
most convenient, either by an increased amount of turns per inch in the spinning or
doubling, or by the method known in the trade as "Twist on twist," that is, by the
turns of twist in the doubling being put in the same direction or to the same hand
as the turns in the single yarn, whether to the right or left as the case may be.
These back ends may also be drawn in one or two or more in the heald as may be
preferred.
The patterns are so designed and the tappets are so arranged as to make twenty-
four picks of weft to the round, eight of which are foundation or back picks and
the remaining sixteen are face picks, as will be seen on reference to the two
diagrams illustrating our invention annexed to our Provisional Specification (by
way of example), being weavers' drafts for producing our improved cotton cords,
the style of cloth produced thereby being what is known in the trade as "Patents
or "Broken twill backs" 24 to the round with the addition of the greatly improved
curl.
"
We are aware that certain fabrics known as "Twill-backs" have been woven in
a somewhat similar manner and we therefore make no claim to the general
application of this method of weaving but only to the particular application thereof
as hereinbefore set forth.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
The application of the improved system of weaving cotton cords twenty-four to
the round in combination with the greatly increased amount of twist substantially
as and for the purposes herein before described.
