US patent granted 6 December 1949 to Arnold, Charles and Edwin Gage of Clinton, Massachusetts, for an electrical shuttle control mechanism for narrow ware looms that weave labels and ribbons. Solenoids in the control box, switched by jacquard pattern cards, release latches that raise or lower the batten to select one of three banks of shuttles, replacing complicated mechanical linkages. It contains two sheets of drawings (Figs. 1-6), a description of the mechanism, three claims, and cited references.
