An encyclopedia article on weaving from the American Cyclopedia (1883). It sketches the early history of the craft in Egypt, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands and England, then explains plain weaving, warp and weft, and the parts and operation of the hand loom, including warping, beaming, drawing-in, the shed, batten and reed. It goes on to the fly shuttle, drop box, Jacquard apparatus, the development of the power loom, Bonelli's electric loom, and American loom patents such as Bigelow's double pile weaving and Fish's silk loom.
