A short 1930 trade-journal notice announcing the Draper Corporation's Model X loom, its first new loom model in many years, shown at the Greenville textile show in October. It describes the design changes: two short rocker shafts, a new brake, a repositioned protector rod and daggers to reduce sword breakage, a friction clutch without end thrust, an improved take-up drive, and anti-friction bearings. It also covers the 40-inch loom's high-speed operation at about 190 to 200 picks per minute and its larger cloth roll, yarn beams and shuttles. One photograph shows the loom.
