The simple twills on n harnesses can be classified according to the number of breaks that they possess. An algorithm is detailed for determining these twills and some sample listings given. A formula is derived which evaluates the total number of n-harness twills with a specified number of breaks, and hence also the total possible number of twills on n harnesses. Also the balanced twills on n harnesses are enumerated.
