Patent · 5 pages
A US patent for a power-style loom by P. C. Curtis, consisting of a patent drawing (Fig. 1) and a handwritten specification. The claims cover an automatic cloth take-up on the cloth beam using two ratchet wheels and pawls worked from the batten, and a revolving grooved cylinder turned by a crank that drives the shuttle-throwing levers. The text says other loom parts are of usual construction and that the loom could be powered by hand, horse, water, wind or steam.
