The art of weaving, by hand and by power, with an introductory account of its rise and progress in ancient and modern times . , and brings one of the catches S in contract with one of the pinsR on the cylinder head: the griff frame continuing to ascend, bymeans of the friction roller M working against the inclined part ofthe iron J, causes the cylinder to turn round another side, bringingwith it a new card of the pattern ; and, when the weaver lifts hisfoot from off the cylinder treadle, the griff frame descends, leavingthe hfters B B in the position shown in Fig. 96; which Fig., asbefore stated, represents one complete row of needles, numbered attheir points which pass through the front board U, against whichthe cyhnder strikes, (see Fig. 94.) It will now be perceived, thatby working the strap or band T (see Fig. 95) in the manner MACHINE. 199 just stated, the cylinder I I will be turned round upon its axis,so as to bring a new card against the needles every time theweaver depresses his treadle; and thus the cards of the endlesschain are brought into action in regular succession, one i ^ ,.,\;,N-^ ^N,>. s. ; ;s;-»^^!^^^,^f^.^.

The wires Z Z are turned up at their lower ends, as representedin Figs. 94 and 96, and into the loops thus formed small rods or slips of wood V V are inserted, from side to side of the machine,one rod passing through each row of needles, and the ends of theserods at one side of the machine, are dove-tailed into a cross pieceW (see Figs. 93 and 95) which prevents them from turning ; theirends at the other side are round, and are inserted into another crosspiece W, where they are fastened by small nails or brads: therods fit loosely in the needles. Four small cords X X connect theframe W W, to the under side of the griif frame, as shown in theFigs.; and they are adjusted by the shp knots Y Y. The use ofthe frame W W and the rods V V, is, to prevent the hooks Dfrom turning
