MoreEtude des Files is a bound manuscript volume containing handwritten notes in French about thread, with samples of thread and notes related to each sample. The largest part of the book is about silk but there are also pages on cottons, flax, hemp, ramie, jute, wools, and other threads. At head of title is written "Cours de tissage." A bookplate on the inside front cover says that this book was given to Wullschleger by "Th. Bon, professeur de Théorie de Tissage, Ecole industrielle de Courconig[?]" Arthur Wullschleger studied weaving in Lyon, France, in 1899-1900. He may have been from d'Aarbourg, Switzerland.
