An encyclopedia article on the draw-loom from Rees's Cyclopedia, describing how the harness (mails, weights, pulleys, tail cords, simples and lashes) is built and mounted, and how a pattern is read on from design paper by two operators. It also covers the 'patent' draw-loom introduced at Dunfermline that lets one weaver work alone, and the draw-loom as used for carpets and for spot weaving. A Fig. 3 engraving labels the parts of the loom.
