page_text: Improvements in the Manufacture of Fustians and Cords.
I, WILLIAM WILCOCK of Pecket Well Shed, Hebden Bridge in the County of York,
Cord 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 :-
This Invention relates to further improvements in the manufacture of fustian and 5
cords for which Letters Patent No. 419 dated the 30th day of January 1880 were
granted to the said William Wilcock and David Greenwood, and the present improve-
ments are specially designed for the manufacture of coarser ribbed cloth by means
of which I obtain greater number of binding picks or "lie downs" thereby causing
a greater amount of cockle on the cloth.
Such being the nature of this my Invention in order that the same may be clearly
understood I have hereunto annexed sheets of drawings, in which referring now to
Fig. 1. The horizontal lines represent the warp threads the vertical lines the weft
threads and the short diagonal lines at the points of intersection of the Warp and
Weft threads indicate such of the Warp threads as are to be raised forming the upper
part of the shed for the passage of the shuttle and weft in or during the several
picks or shots of Weft necessary to complete the pattern that is to say, on the
first-
Number 1 pick, the shuttle and weft pass under 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, and over
2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11 14 and 16. The arrow A shews direction of warp, and arrow B 2
direction of weft.
Number 2 pick, the shuttle and weft pass or float under warp threads 15 and 8,
and over 16, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Number 3 pick under 7 and 16 and over 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
and 15.

Number 5 pick under 8 and 15, and over 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
and 16.
Number 6 pick pass under 16 and 7 over 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,
and 1.
Number 7 pick under 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14 and 16 over 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 13
and 15.

Figures 2, 3 and 4 and 5 show a modification of this my Invention by which the
improved Fabrics may be produced.
Having now fully described and ascertained the nature of this my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim and
desire to secure by Letters Patent is :
