NEW invention by two young
Frenchmen. Louis Parmentier
and Henri Dutat. students of an

industrial college at Tourcoing.
has recently been the subject of much
local discussion at Roubaix. France,
and the claim is advanced that it is
likely to lead to a veritable revolution
in mechanical weaving.
The invention contemplates the sup
preston of the use of checkered cards
in revolving looms. At present in the
weaving of stuffs having varied welts
the employment of special cards for
effecting' change of shuttles is indis-
pensable. Manufacturers have been
compelled to conform to the present
system for want of better, notwith-
standing its evident Inconvenience, one
of the least being the considerable and
continuous expense caused by the in
PRODUCTION of a new set of cards when
ever a change of shuttles becomes
necessary. Another inconvenience much
complained of and highly prejudicial
to the operator arises from the en-
cumberment of the loom by the same
set of cards The sustained efforts and
ingenuity of the inventors appear to
have resulted in the discovery of a
system permitting the suppression Of
these troublesome checkered cards and
their replacement by a perforated me-
tallic ribbon mounted on an extensible
wheel. The ribbon thus forms a disk
which will serve for all kinds of shut
tie work whatever the number of
shuttles TO be employed and the num-
Der of picks.
The advantages to be gained by such
an invention are readily perceived In
