US Patent No. 169, granted April 20, 1837 to Erastus B. Bigelow of West Boylston, Massachusetts, for a power loom to weave coach-lace and similar figured fabrics. The specification describes the frame, warp beams, heddles and cams, a figuring mechanism using a pierced cylinder and wires, the shuttle drive, and pliers that shift the figuring wires. It also covers stop motions for a missed shuttle or exhausted weft, and ends with six claims. Three sheets of patent drawings (Figs. 1-12) precede the text.
