US Patent 1,752,804, granted to Walter Nicolet of Leipzig, Germany, for a loom that forms two sheds, one behind the other, using two groups of warp threads guided by knitting-type needle bars. The invention shifts the needle bars of one comb longitudinally and transversely before the warp groups cross, so threads enter the correct spaces between needles. The patent has six sheets of drawings (Figs. 1-10) showing thread positions and the cam and lever mechanism, followed by the specification and four claims.
