A set of short dictionary entries on weaving terms excerpted from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary (1876). The entries define loom types (power-loom, ribbon-loom, satin-loom, draw-loom, velvet-loom), loom parts (reed, shed, shuttle-race, take-up, weft-fork), and basic terms such as warp, weft, woof, dent and sley. A few entries add historical notes, such as Cartwright's power loom patent and the early ribbon-loom.
