A short 1847 news item from Scientific American about an improved power loom by Richard Collins of Cabotville, Massachusetts. It is claimed to run at 160 picks per minute as easily as a common loom runs at 112. The writer does not know the details of the improvement, only that reports say the harness is moved by an eccentric rather than cams.
