Jacquard Loom
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page encyclopedia entry explaining the Jacquard loom and how its apparatus controls the warp threads to weave patterns. It describes the lifting bar, hooked lifting wires, horizontal needles and springs, and the rotating square roller covered by perforated cards that select which warp threads rise. A diagram (Fig. 1429) illustrates the mechanism, and the entry compares the card chain to musical notation.
