An essay from the Master Weaver newsletter (Fulford, Quebec) arguing that no single loom is best for every purpose. It compares single tie-up jack looms, double tie-up (countermarche) jack looms, counterbalanced looms, draw-looms, two-harness looms, fly-shuttle and automatic looms, frame looms, and table looms, covering the strengths and drawbacks of each. It concludes that a weaver should specialise or own several looms, and suggests a basic set of four. Two figures show a spring-weighted short lamm and counterbalanced harness arrangements. A short errata notice for issue 4 follows.
