Double Jacquard loom; Barlow. Photographer: Ferrier, Claude-Marie
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Industrial Photography
Close view of Barlow's patented double Jacquard loom: 'In Mr. Barlow's double jacquard loom (82), two cylinders are employed, and the cards are disposed upon these in alternate order, so that, while one cylinder and its card are brought into action upon the horizontal wires, the other is withdrawn for the purpose of rotating it, and shifting the card, and vice versa. By this arrangement the loom can be worked with a velocity 40 per cent. greater than that of the ordinary construction: the steadiness of its action is greatly increased, and the strain upon the warp diminished, by another improvement, which consists in lowering the warp threads as well as raising them, whereas in the ordinary jacquard loom those threads which are not carried up by the lifting bars are allowed to remain in their horizontal position.' (p. 417).
