A short encyclopedia entry on the loom from The Americana. It traces the loom from the simple rectangular hand-loom frame to the framed horizontal hand loom with warp beam, cloth beam, heddles, reed and shuttle. It then covers Cartwright's power loom of 1785, the Jacquard attachment of 1801, and later automatic devices such as the Northrop bobbin-feeding patent. It includes two simple line drawings and ends with references to Posselt and Barlow.
