M A very popular loom for weaving a wide range of coarse or finefancy cotton goods is shown on the preceding page. Motion is given to the dobby from the cam shaft by means ofa connecting rod to the rocker arm, the pattern chain-cylinder beingactuated by a pawl and ratchet motion from the rocker arm. A Leno Attachment, consisting of our patented jumpermotion, two slackener bars and stands for four beams is applied. Any of our various styles of Cloth Roll motions may be had,as desired. The one shown in the illustration is especially popular,on account of having a full roll capacity of 18 inches diameter. Thehigh sand roll is advantageous as a means of reducing the wrinklingor shrinking of the cloth to a minimum, and also prevents, to a greatextent, breakages in the warp by taking the strain off of thetemples. Optional Attachments: Tight and loose or friction drivingpulleys; beam locks; spring jacks; pattern chain multiplier; warpstop-motion. Pulleys: 12 or 14 diameter by 2 face. Page 39

Thepattern chain mechanism is so constructed that whenever the fillingbreaks, the motion of the chain is instantly arrested, and after theshuttle has been replaced and the loom restarted, the proper shuttlewill be thrown without any adjustments of parts or loss of pick. Our new Chain Multiplier used in combination with the boxpattern chain is a great improvement over the old style disk mul-tiplier on account of the ease in making up any desired combination. The loom is fitted with our patented high-cloth-roll motion,friction let-off, or beam locks, and f
