A trade-journal article from The Textile Mercury (6 July 1889) on the Jacquard machine, briefly tracing figure weaving from tapestry and the draw loom to Joseph Marie Jacquard's invention. It describes and illustrates a single lift 600s Jacquard with swing motion made by James McMurdo of Miles Platting, Manchester, and lists his improvements: griffe rods, stronger knives, wider division, open frame, improved hammer or drop, and cast iron grid. The second page carries unrelated trade news items on mills, machinery orders and the French textile export decline.
