Pattern repeat
Reverse with full displacement after 7 threads of System (2) (Z), and 10 of System (1) (S). This was checked very carefully on analysis, and it seems likely that, if the Z-spun system is the warp in the other diamond twills of this group, the repeat-pattern suggests that the S-spun system is the warp in this piece.
