A critical, humorous essay from Master Weaver (January 1957) on handweaving gadgets and loom "improvements". The author argues that most do not work or conflict with craft principles, covering peg-drum shed openers, prefabricated warps, fixed loom ties, race boards, flying shuttles, specialized hand shuttles, ready-wound weft tubes, and electric bobbin winders. He also discusses well-conceived but poorly made or misunderstood equipment such as doubling stands, warping mills, shed regulators and pattern harnesses.
