1927 - - THE FABRICATOR WEAVING AND DESIGNING DEPARTMENT THE Weaving and Designing Department of the school trains the students to fill positions as designers or weaving executives. In the design room, courses are offered in designing, cloth analysis and color. Fabrics of every design and nature are carefully studied and analyzed. Slashing, spooling and warping are taught in the warp preparation room, every class having the opportunity of making a warp for a loom. During his three years at school the student learns to assemble and operate every kind of lo om. Samuel Holt, who has been with the school since its origin, is head of this department. Through his perseverance, hard work and untiring patience, many good designers have been produced. The weave room, which is second to none, is in charge of Mr. Acomb. His able assistants, Mr. Moore and Mr. Beards- worth, have had much experience and are always on hand to help the perplexed student. Through the generosity of the Philadelphia Heddle Company, Knowles Reed Works and many other companies, the weave room is kept up to date. Crompton and Knowles and Draper looms were added recently. ■-H 1 1 — cV s oV- V
