A short 1847 editorial note from Scientific American on the fortunes of hand loom weavers after the introduction of the power loom. It reports on a hand loom invented by a Frenchman named Clausenne, operated by a simple crank, said to weave about five times as much as the old loom and produce better cloth. The writer suggests it would suit rural villages in America and help weavers in Ireland, and promises a more detailed account later.
