A 1907 practical manual for woolen and worsted loomfixers by Albert Ainley, published in Providence, Rhode Island. It covers troubleshooting and adjustment of fly-shuttle looms: belts, friction pulley and brake, the picking motion, shuttle binders and boxes, the headmotion and eccentric gears, harness skips, chain drafting, the filling stop motion, temples, putting in a new warp, handling bad warps, and improving looms in poor condition. The text is practical advice from a loomfixer's experience; it has no weaving drafts. The back of the book contains advertisements for loom pickers, a textile directory, I.C.S. correspondence courses and a trade magazine.
