A short dictionary entry defining the hand-loom as a loom powered by hand, either by a crank or by pushing the batten. It describes two engraved examples: one with a crank on the front driving shaft that operates the treadles, picker staff, let-off and take-up through a ratchet and tappets, and one in which all motions derive from the batten, with harness levers actuated by cams. It cross-references the Loom entry.
