A short dictionary entry on the needle loom, in which the weft is carried through the shed by a needle. It describes the Dienelt & Eisenhardt four-harness Jacquard needle loom for weaving ingrain carpets, with a capacity of 16 weft colors. The text explains how a slotted reciprocating needle carries colored weft halfway through the shed, where a hook takes it and a latch-needle knits the loop at the selvage. An engraving (Fig. 1811) shows the loom.
