A French encyclopedia entry on the word 'navette' (shuttle) from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It defines the weaver's shuttle for carrying weft through the warp, along with other senses: a lacemaking or netting tool, a lead piece called saumon, a fisherman's netting shuttle, and a carpenter's plane. The encyclopedic section describes shuttle construction and types: hand or curved, flying or mechanical, rolling and non-rolling, unwinding, double, and reverse-tension shuttles. Engraved figures show hand and mechanical shuttles and sangle and fishing-net shuttles.
