A German encyclopedia supplement article on looms from Meyers Konversations-Lexikon (5th ed.), with numbered figures. It describes the simple hand loom and its parts (warp and cloth beams, heddle shafts, treadles, shuttles, reed, batten, temple), a modern hand loom, the dobby (Schaftmaschine), and the Jacquard machine. It also covers gauze and pile weaving, the power loom with an elaborate upholstery-fabric example from Schönherr of Chemnitz, warping frames, sizing and drying machines, and Jacquard card cutting and punching machines.
