An installment of the 'Shortcuts' series from Master Weaver (1958) on multishaft looms and on setting up a new loom. It advises against buying more than four shafts unless needed, and compares single tie-up (jack-type) and double tie-up (countermarche, Swedish) looms. It then covers siting and anchoring the loom, lighting, heating, bench height and distance, and troubleshooting faults such as slipping brakes, an uneven batten, sticky varnish and cramped batten clearance.
