Luther Hooper's 1932 handbook describes the construction and operation of his 'new draw-loom', a hand-operated pattern-weaving loom for handicraft weavers. It opens with the traditional draw-loom, including a master weaver's 1800 description, then covers building the frame, comber board, pulley box, monture, simple and shed-lifting appliance. Later parts describe a series of looms (Nos. II to IV) for warp effect, weft effect and brocaded weaving, and four specifications for full-sized looms for linen damask and silk tissues and damask. It includes plates, point-paper designs, harness diagrams, a glossary and a publisher's book list.
