at the same time, using a variety Of colors
simultaneously. The old-style shuttle lays
on only one filing thread at time con-
sequently when more than one filling
thread is used. as in the manufacture of
box or basket cloth, the old shuttle must
make as many trips across the loom as
ther are filing threads while any
changes Of color necessitate the stopping
of the machinery and cause delays.
This self-feeding loom attachment con-
sists of two similar parts, one at each end
OF the lay. In order to attach it to an old
loom it is only necessary TO take out the
crossbeam Of the lay. just under the reed,
with all Of its shuttle boxes and other
machinery. and in its place set a square
beam similar in size to the old one taken
out on each end of the new beam is af-
fixed The simple mechanism of the at
tachment which weaVes with a continuous
supply Of filing thread. The carrier of the
attachment is only three-ouarters of an
inch in thickness. and though made of
steel, il is exceedingly light and delicate.
1t passes through the shed with but one
half the opening required by the shuttle,
thus-the operator explained-doing away
with the greater part of the strain, which,
with the present shuttle system, breaks
the warp threads
If this new mechanism is to suppiant the
bObbn both time and labor will be saved
in every factory where looms are Operat-
ed. With the new attachment there are
no bobbins to be taken out or put in, and
the breaking of threads is reduced to
minimum by the freedom and dencacy
with which they are paid into the loom
from the large spOOls. The chief operator
of tine exhibition loom in the Jersey City
machine-shOp says that a loom with the
self-feeding attachment will weave 100
yards of cloth in the same time that the
old loom with the bobbin would take to
weave 10 yards of cloth, both looms run
ming at the same rate of speed. Uniformity
of speed is another advantage claimed for
the new attachment The let-off and take
up Of the weft are positive, and there be
ing no stoppages of the loom or replace
mont of threads, the uniformity of the fab
ric is established and for any length of
run. With looms in which bobbins are
used, one expert weaver is required to look
after from two to six looms, according to
the quality of thread in use. When the bob
bins are replaced by the large spool and
the self-feeding attachment is used the
loom is supposed to look after itself, and
one man is expected to attend to a whole
section of looms
