A one-page 1870 article from The Manufacturer and Builder explaining how weaving works, using diagrams of a common hand-loom and of a cylinder carrying several shuttles. It describes plain weave, shot patterns, stripes and checks, and how multiple weft colors are handled. It then contrasts the hand-loom with Cartwright's power-loom (1787) and its automatic weft-break stop, and refers readers to an earlier article on James Lyall's shuttle carriage.
