m is made in two sizes, viz.: Standard and Ponemah.The latter has three inches greater harness space. The framingof this style of loom is very heavy, and is admirably adapted forthe high speeds and large production demanded in weaving theclass of goods for which the loom is designed. When desired, thisloom is made with an adjustable arch, by means of which extraharness space may be obtained. As will be seen from the illustration, this loom is regularlyfitted with our standard Cam Harness Motion, which may bereadily arranged for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 shed work; Side Shaft TappetBall Shuttle Motion; Brake on driving pulleys; Radius of crank:2, 21, 2h, 2; and 3. Cut-roll stands for either 8, 12, 16,18 and 22 diameter cut-rolls. Bartlett geared let-off motion orfriction let-off. Shuttle boxes 18 to 24 long.

THE WIDE LOOM Designed for Wide Goods, either Plain, Drill or Twill This loom is made for weaving goods from 72 to 150 wide.The general construction is of an exceptionally heavy character.It is fitted with a geared driving device, thus ensuring steady runningunder a light driving belt. The torsion in the loom is reduced to a minimum by havingthe cam and crank shafts geared together at both ends. The Pick Motion is the well-known scroll type with adjustablecams. One or more warp beams from 12 to 16^ in diameter maybe used. When two beams are used, an even tension is maintainedon the yarn from the beams to the cloth by means of a compoundlet-off motion. The Shuttle Boxes are from 20 to 24 long. The loom is usually fitted with our patented High-Cloth-RollMotion as shown in the illustration; but, if preferred, our old style12 cloth roll motion may be had instead. Pulleys: Tight and loose, 15, 16 and 17 diameters by 3face. Page 19
