The weaver's pocket-companion: containing, twenty-two caaming (or sleying) tables; each for a different kind of work. And seventeen warping tables, shewing by inspection, how many porters and splits--- also how many hears, cutts and threads, are required to an ell of any breadth, from half-ell to six-quarters, and for any reed, from a three hundred and three porter, to a twenty hundred. Likewise a copious table, shewing how many ells of any kind from a three hundred and three porter, (advancing porter by porter) to a twenty hundred, may be made out of any quantity of yarn. With several other necessary articles belonging to the weaver trade. The whole being so clearly explained both by precepts and examples, that any person who understands the practical part of weaving, may easily acquire an accurate knowledge of manufacturing. By J. Wotherspoon and W. Stevenson, weavers in Glasgow.
