Any of these two numbers can be used for counting off, but usually the smaller one is taken. According to this rule we obtain a regular satin On 5 harness with counter 2 " 7 " " 2 or 3 " 8 " " 3 " 9 " " 2 or 4 " 10 " " 3 " 11 " " 2, 3, 4 or 5 " 12 " " 5 " 13 " " 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 " 14 " " 3 or 5 " 15 " " 2, 4 or 7 " 16 " " 3, 5 or 7. [Page 34] The 4 harness broken twill, Fig. 53, is sometimes classed among the satins. The 6 harness satin, Fig. 54, is irregular; as a counter cannot be derived from number 6 by the given rule. The rotation generally used is 1, 3, 6, 4, 2, 5. * * * * * |
