A short dictionary entry on the tubular fabric loom, a machine for weaving hollow goods such as bags and skirts. It describes Greenough's circular loom, where the reed forms the shuttle-race and a wedge-shaped fin on the shuttle beats up the weft, and Danby's machine for weaving a covering for cords, with circular and radial carriers and an automatic stop when a weft thread breaks. Illustrated with an engraving of Greenough's circular loom.
