CALCULATIONS The prices marked in the following calculations are about as in "normal times." Absolutely correct piece work prices cannot be given as different localities have different prices. Calculations are usually made per 100 yards, 100-meter warps. Most goods gain from 3 to 7 per cent. in weaving. That is, if we make a warp of 300 meters for a satin and we obtain 315 yards of cloth, this gain should not be calculated, as usually there is no account taken of samples used in the selling department. But the loss in length should be figured and taken account of on goods with a heavy rib, such as moiré, faille, etc. DISP. 7--A 3 1/3-inch repeat can be obtained with a 600-hook jacquard machine, seven repeats in a width of 23 inches. DISP. 8--Taffeta weave, but the two cotton picks must go in one hole. This article can only be made with at least two shuttle boxes on each side. For warping use a single and double cross reed, heavy cotton, no knots must be tied. DISP. 10--This article must be warped with as much tension as possible and no knots should be tied in. Silk is to be delivered on bobbins from throwster. CANTON CREPE DISP. 9--Can also be made with Canton silk for filling and may be called |
