A short trade piece from The Textile Mercury (3 August 1889) describing James McMurdo's double-lift 400s Jacquard machine with one cylinder and swing motion, made at Miles Platting, Manchester. It compares double-lift and single-lift Jacquards, notes a practical working limit of about 180 picks per minute, and mentions cylinder motion options. An engraving shows the cylinder, card chain, hooks and harness cords on a loom frame.
