A three-page Spanish encyclopedia article on the loom (telar), describing the fixed frame and moving parts of the hand loom: beams, treadles, heddles, reed, batten and shuttles. It explains how to dress the loom (drawing in the warp, sleying the reed, tying up the heddles) and how the weaver works the shed. It then covers multiple-cylinder hand looms, power looms and their protective devices, carpet, ribbon and velvet weaving, Jacquard looms, and some 19th-century inventions. Figures show a loom frame, heddle loops, shuttle-box section, shuttles, and tension brake mechanisms.
