They are known as reeds, though they are made
Of the very best and brightest OF iron wire, from
the fact that In old times, reeds were used for
the purpose. Very ingenious machinery Is US

wire at the rate OF seventy 1--we poundslper day;
and the next machine called the side-cutter,
shsves the edges to make them smooth and
true. The wire Is then run through the polish
or and comes out ready for setting. Then one

ished wire Is introduced between half-round
pieces Of wood which form each side Of the
reed, OF sisy as hand loom weayers used to call
