A 1896 magazine article describing Robert H. H. Hunt's San Francisco invention, an attachment for power looms that replaces the shuttle and bobbin with a thread carrier fed from large spools. It explains the problems of the shuttle (frequent stops, yarn waste), claims labor savings of 20 to 50 percent and one operator tending 20 to 30 looms, and names the Hunt Loom and Fabric Company's officers. Illustrated with two photographs of a loom fitted with the attachment.
