A 1907 article from Posselt's Textile Journal describing a new picker stick attachment for looms, invented by H. E. Taplin, which replaces the sweep strap and power strap. It explains the adjustment band, spring wood back piece, fibre head and metal straps, and how they remove lost motion on the forward stroke while cushioning the back stroke. Two figures illustrate the parts, and the article closes with the inventor's claims about smoother action and less wear.
