Two-page article from The Textile Mercury (14 June 1890) covering three items of mill machinery. The main item describes an improved shuttle box swell for power looms by Henry Livesey, Ltd., of Blackburn, with a critique of shuttle wear in fast-reed and loose-reed looms. It also describes a hydraulic calender by Carl Miller of Berlin and a wooden picking stick collar (lug strap) made by the Woonsocket Shuttle Company. Figures show the swell and the calender.
