A two-page encyclopedia entry on the loom from Pantalogia (1819), drawing on Gregory's Dictionary. It defines the loom and describes a silk or plain-weaving loom with cloth beam, yarn beam, lambs (heddles), treadles, reed frame, and shuttle driven by pickers, and explains the weaving operations step by step. It also describes the simple Indian loom set up under a tree, and includes an engraved figure of the loom.
