A 1861 Scientific American article describing Joseph H. Clifton's patented loom for weaving woolen belting and other fabrics, with an engraving of the machine. It explains the harnesses, jacks, hooks, pinned ratchet shaft that sets the shed pattern, and the cam-driven shuttle mechanism, and notes the loom can weave seamless sacks, cords, cassimere, sheeting, and sails. The second half covers the claimed advantages of woolen water-proof belting over leather and the owners' wish to license the patents abroad.
