US Patent No. 179,334, granted June 27, 1876 to Augustus H. Miller of Philadelphia, for an improvement in looms. It adds a laterally shiftable needle-bar with hooked needles to the lay or batten, so one loom can weave cloth and also form sections of net or looped work resembling hand-knitting. The specification describes the mechanism (rack and pinion, hand-lever, rocking beam, treadle) and how warp threads are split into groups and crossed to form the netting. Two sheets of drawings (Figs. 1-7) accompany the text.
