An encyclopedia article on power looms from Appletons' Cyclopaedia of Applied Mechanics. It classifies power looms by shedding (plain, twill, multi-harness/chain, Jacquard) and by shuttle drive (picking-stick, positive-motion, rack-and-pinion), and describes specific American machines such as Whitin, Mason, Crompton, and the Lyall and Bullough positive-motion looms. It also covers a needle-type silk loom, bag and corset looms, temples, and let-off and take-up motions, illustrated with numbered engravings.
