On a bamburod placed across the loom are hung variously coloured balls, with which to makethe pile and weft, the threads being pulled out as required by the worker. At thelower end the warp is attached to an iron rod, which in turn is attached to the lowerbeam by means of cords let into small rectangular holes cut into one edge of thebeam. The heddles are provided with raisers. For every one row of pile thereare three of weft. The pile ends are cut level by means of a pair of shears which areprovided with special lugs to keep them level when the loose ends of the pile arebeing trimmed. The picks are driven home by means of a bent iron beater-in. Itis altogether a very crude Pile attachment. KNIFE
