Installment XVI of Alfred Barlow's serial on weaving in Engineering, continuing the description of the Jacquard machine. It covers the griffe designs for hand-loom and power-loom Jacquards, the card cylinder, lantern, catches, hammer and springs, how cards are laced and festooned, and needle and hook wire sizes. It also notes Vaucanson's 1746 placement of the machine on the draw loom and includes an engraving of a Spitalfields hand silk loom.
