A short dictionary entry on the narrow-fabric (narrow-ware) loom, used for weaving ribbons, tapes and bindings. It explains that such looms usually use an eye-pointed needle to carry the weft across the shed rather than a shuttle, with the weft locked at the selvage by a shuttle and thread passing through the loop. A side-elevation figure (Fig. 8295) is described part by part: needle, bobbin, harness frames, cams, picker motion, take-up and band-wheel.
