[6] The petition sets forth the merits of the machine at Derby for making Italian organzine silk--"a manufacture made out of fine raw silk, by reducing it to a hard twisted fine and even thread.

This silk makes the warp, and is absolutely necessary to mix with and cover the Turkey and other coarser silks thrown here, which are used for Shute,--so that, without a constant supply of this fine Italian organzine silk, very little of the said Turkey or other silks could be used, nor could the silk weaving trade be carried on in England.
