A 1909 Cassier's Magazine article by Albert Walton on applying individual electric motors to directly drive power looms in textile mills. It explains basic loom operation (warp, harnesses, reed, shuttle, shed) and the problems of starting and stopping a loom instantly, lint and dust, and the drawbacks of overhead and under-floor belt shafting. It compares a German belt-suspended motor, a friction-disc quill motor, and the friction-gear drive with a switch that cuts power when the loom stops. Illustrated with line diagrams of loom mechanism and drive arrangements.
