A single-page article from Scientific American (August 18, 1849) describing an improved power loom invented by William Stearns of Dover, N.H. The improvements concern the let-off and take-up of the warp and cloth beams and the way the warp beam is adjusted and held in place. The text gives a lettered part-by-part explanation of three engravings showing the frame, shuttle boxes, ratchet rod and wheel, eccentric, and gearing.
