HISTORIC FURNISHINGS ASSESSMENT Ford Mansion and Wic·k House Morristown National Historical Park Morristown, New Jersey by Laurel A. Racine Senior Curator ..J Northeast Museum Services Center National Park Service December 2003 Introduction Morristown National Historical Park has two furnished historic houses: The Ford Mansion, otherwise known as Washington's Headquarters, at the edge of Morristown proper, and the Wick House in Jockey Hollow about six miles south. The following report is a Historic Furnishings Assessment based on a one-week site visit (November 2001) to Morristown National Historical Park (MORR) and a review of the available resources including National Park Service (NPS) reports, manuscript collections, photographs, relevant secondary sources, and other paper-based materials. The goal of the assessment is to identify avenues for making the Ford Mansion and Wick House more accurate and compelling installations in order to increase the public's understanding of the historic events that took place there. The assessment begins with overall issues at the park including staffing, interpretation, and a potential new exhibition on historic preservation at the Museum. The assessment then addresses the houses individually. For each house the researcher briefly outlines the history of the site, discusses previous research and planning efforts, analyzes the history of room use and furnishings, describes current use and conditions, indicates extant research materials, outlines treatment options, lists the sources consulted, and recommends sourc.es for future consultation.

Norwood, Mass., U.S.A. ; 155688 PREFACE This book has been written primarily to meet a need arising from the introduction of the study of textiles into the curriculum of the high school. The aim has been, there- fore, to present the subject matter in a form sufficiently simple and interesting to be grasped readily by the high school student, without sacrificing essential facts. It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highl}^ developed and complicated machinerj^ of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text.

  • Bedford Cord Sampler No 2 EXPERIMENTING with FIBRE YARN
    Bedford Cord Sampler No 2 EXPERIMENTING WITH FIBRE YARN AND SETT. This sample blanket is designed to develop warp sections 1,2 and 5 of the original Bedford Cord sample blanket. I rummaged through my yarn store and picked out mainly white yarns of different fibre. They were not particularly of the same weight, but none were very thick or very thin. I found the following yarns in my store: • 2/24’s Worsted Wool • A fine wool boucle of unknown count (approx 4250 yards per lb). • 16/2 Matt Cotton • 12/1 Linen • 1200/2 Rayon • 20/2 Silk I used these yarns to make a warp. I used a 10’s Reed, with 4 ends per dent giving an overall sett of 40 ends per inch, in warp sections 1 & 2. Warp section 3 was crammed and spaced in the reed. The overall sett of that section was 20 ends per inch, but each individual warp section was actually sett at 50 ends per inch. Width in loom of the whole sampler was about 11.5 inches. There are 398 ends in the warp, needing 100 heddles on each shaft I warped about 2.5 yards in length.
