Vol 10, p. 597, year lSJs.--Mr John Austin,
OF Glasgow, has presented u the Society of Arts,
&c. a working model OF a weaving loom which
may he driven BY steam water. 1t is stated
To possess the following advantages
l. From 3oJ to 400 looms may be worked by
one water wheel, or a steam engine, all of which
Will weave cloth superior to what is done in the
common way-2. They VIII go at the rate of six
ty shoots in minute, t>vo Yards of nire h,,,-
d'ed web in AN hours. They wil.keep regular
time M working, stop, and bSm again asquick as
u stop watch.--4. They will keep constantly 90.
Ing, except at the times OF shifting, two shutles
when the welt on the pirns is donc---5. In gene
raj, no knots need be tied, and never more than
one, III place OF two, which are requisite in the
common way, when thread breaks.--5 In case
the shuttle stops in the shed, the lay will NOT
come forward & the loom will Instantly stop work.

Is well stretched, and exactly even to the fabric re-

a strIw's breadth and marked where to be cut at
any gwen icngth--14 The loom will work back
wards, IN case OF any accident, of one or more
shoots missing--15 Every thread is as regular
on the yarn beam as III the cloth, having no more
than TWO threads IN the runner.-16 If q thread
should appear too coarse or fine in the web il

derly and regularly, than any weaver can do with

warp or welt breaks III it, the loom will instantly
stop, without stopping any other loom, and will
give warning by the ringing of abeli-19 a loom
OF tins KIND occupies only the same space as a
common loom; the expence of it will be about
half more but this additional expence is more
than compensated by the various additional ma.

common loom, which this loom renders entirely
nnnecessary.-20 The reeiing, winding, warp

weavci's work, together with the general waste

the operations OF the common loom, do not

saving OF the waste, the cXpence incurred for
reeing, Wrapping, winding, &c. is saved amount
