A short 1867 Scientific American notice describing Henderson's Cheap Hand Loom, a treadle loom sold for sixty dollars. The article argues for the household and rural economy of hand looms and says the loom can weave jeans, blankets, tweeds, satinets, toweling, diaper, carpeting, and plain cloths. It describes the adjustable shed, the strap-driven shuttle with picker staff, and the pattern wheel on top of the treadles, and gives the makers' address. An engraving of the loom accompanies the text.
