PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Woven Fabrics known as
"Glissades."
I ABRAHAM LORD, of the Firm of Parker Lord & Company, Tonge Mills,
Middleton, near Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved manufacture of woven fabrics known as
"glissades " used principally for the linings of the sleeves of garments and other
purposes.
The invention consists in weaving a double cloth having a face of polished yarn
as usual for glissades and of any suitable color or combination of colors and a
suitable back upon which a pile is subsequently raised by any known means, the
face and back being interwoven together during manufacture.
The result is a glissade having a raised back, the cloth having the appearance of
an ordinary glissade but being much thicker and stronger to feel and softer and
warmer to wear than usual.
Dated this 7th day of October 1896.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Woven Fabrios known as
"Glissades."
I ABRAHAM LORD, of the Firm of Parker Lord & Company, Tonge Mills,
Middleton, near Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, 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 :-
This invention relates to an improved manufacture of woven fabrics known
as glissades used principally for the linings of the sleeves of garments and other
purposes.
The invention consists in weaving a double cloth having a face of polished yarn
as usual for glissades and of any suitable color or combination of colors and a
Buitable back upon which a pile is subsequently raised by any known means, the
face and back being interwoven together during manufacture.
The result is a glissade having a raised back, but being much thicker and stronger
to feel and softer and warmer to wear than usual.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood I have annexed
hereto a weaver's diagram illustrating the manner in which glissades can be woven
in accordance therewith.

page_text: The diagram:shews a cloth woven with sixteen picks to the round and ten warp
ends to the "gait over." The eight warp ends bracketed and marked A are
polished yarn, and form the face of the cloth; the two ends bracketted and
marked B, and also the weft, are not polished; and thus a pile can be raised on the
back of the fabric which is interwoven, and forms one fabric, with the face.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The manufacture of a double cloth having a face of polished yarn and a
suitable back upon which a pile is raised after weaving substantially as herein set
forth.
