Two sheets of patent drawings for a hand loom patented October 3, 1817 by B. Cummings (spelled Cumings on sheet 1). The drawings show a side elevation and a perspective view of a wooden-framed loom with warp and cloth beams, a batten with reed, heddle mechanisms, treadles and levers, and a ratchet and pawl take-up. The scan contains only drawings with numbered callouts and no descriptive text.
