Installment XVIII of Alfred Barlow's 'Weaving' series in Engineering (5 March 1875), explaining compound harnesses for the Jacquard loom. It describes the damask harness, which uses headles combined with Jacquard hooks, and the Rooke 'shaft monture' and Gough split harness used for fine silks. Diagrams (Figs. 155-162) show harness cords, leashes, griffe bars and shafts, with small drawdown-style figures of tabby, zig-zag, twill and satin grounds.
