A short illustrated notice from Harper's Weekly describing the Murkland ingrain carpet loom, built under William Murkland's patents by M. A. Furbush & Son of Philadelphia and shown at the Centennial Exposition. It notes the loom's ten shuttle-boxes at each end of the lathe, which move with it rather than being thrown, allowing higher speed, lower power and less floor space. It claims output of thirty to thirty-five yards of carpet per day with good selvedges. An engraving shows the loom in a workshop with a partly woven patterned carpet and onlookers.
