A short 1848 note in Scientific American reporting E. Burt of Manchester, Connecticut, on early American power looms for plaids and ginghams. It says the first such loom, patented in 1828, used a revolving shuttle box on the rim of a small wheel, and that boxes at both ends of the lay were tried and dropped. It also mentions Burt's 1837 check loom patent and 1845 stop motion, and John Allan's 1839 introduction of a power check loom from Glasgow to Troy, New York.
