Article from Master Weaver (No. 7, January 1953) describing a removable pattern harness that hangs in front of an ordinary four-harness loom to give free block patterning without a draw-loom. It gives construction details (wire heddles, cumber board, roller with nails, treadle and spring), explains setup, threading, and operation, and lists weaves suited to it such as spot weave, lace weave, swivel, paper spots and dropped twill. Diagrams illustrate the loom and parts, and a small draft shows Paper Spots. The first page opens with the end of a letter excerpt on weave names (Bronson, summer-and-winter, crackle, shadow weave).
