A one-page dictionary entry on the circular loom, in which a shuttle travels continuously in one direction around a circular race through warps arranged in a ring. It describes how the warps, shedding slides, circular reed, cam-driven shuttle and take-up mechanism work. It also describes a second type, shown in Fig. 1297, that weaves tubular fabric such as petticoats and hoop-skirts around a block, with grouped warp-carriers raised and lowered by a cam on a drum. Two engraved figures (Figs. 1296 and 1297) illustrate the machines.
