Reeds
Count of Reeds
If we wish to determin the
count of any Particular
plane goods we count the
number of threads in an
inch and that number by
36 and divide by 2 gives
you the reed on which the
goods wer woven.
In setting print cloths the
number of threads on an inch
are taken as a count viz If
you have cloth woven in a
1200 reed you multiply the
count of the reed by 2 which
will be 2400 and that divided
by 36 will be 66 which will
designate the count of that
particular kind of goods.
[Table]
To Ascertain the Weight of A Warp
Rule.. Multiply the length of
the warp by the wedth in inches
required at the reed and that
product by the number of ends
in an inch for a dividend..
Then multiply the number
of yards in one hank by the
number of hanks in one the
pound of twist for a divisor
and the quotint will be the
weight of the warp

Require the weight of No 36's twist
for a warp 146 yards long 29 inches
wide at the reed 72 ends in an inch
