A short trade article from 1931 describing a very large felt loom built by Crompton & Knowles for weaving tubular, endless woolen conveyor felts used on paper-making machines. It gives the loom's specifications (540-inch reed space between swords, 12 harnesses, 2x2 box, Knowles head motion, two motors, 30 picks per minute, about 20 tons) and compares its floor space with that of smaller worsted and silk looms. Illustrated with photographs of a newsprint machine and the loom on the erecting floor.
