The section of "The Production of Woven Fabrics" focuses on various reports related to loom developments. An overview of developments in looms were presented in an exhibition of the International Textile Manufacturers Federation held in 1971. Before this exhibition, a paper was presented that gave general features of various shuttleless looms and compared their production rates and costs. According to a report, any development in weaving machinery should reduce conversion cost, improve cloth quality and image of the weaving industry. Many reports praise Sulzer weaving machines, which are considered as top class weaving machine by cloth manufacturers in respect of performance linked with versatility.

The section of "The Production of Woven Fabrics" focuses on papers dealing with technicalities related to textile weaving. A research paper from Russia presents details of a device for measuring fell displacement during weaving. Another paper discusses influence of factors like the number and positions of the heald shafts, the type of weave, coefficient of friction between warp, fabric and the diameter of the winding on the warp beam. The excess tension theory has been formulated by a researcher suggests that the beat-up force is equal to the difference between the warp tension and the fabric tension.
