Two Box Loom Page 42 TWO BOX LOOM For weaving Handkerchiefs, Strips, etc. By reference to the illustration, it will be noted that the con-struction of this loom is of a very simple nature, of very few parts,easily adjusted, and not liable to get out of repair. The motion of the drop-boxes may be controlled either by apattern chain mechanism, such as illustrated on page 25, or bymeans of pattern pegs acting in conjunction with the dobby patternmechanism, as shown in the illustration on the preceding page. This loom may be fitted with any of our different styles ofcloth-roll and take-up motions, friction or Bartlett let-off motions,friction pulley, beam locks, spring jacks, and warp stop-motion. Pulleys: 12 and 14 diameter, 2 face. Page 43

The sides,girts and arches are of such proportions as to readily withstandany strains that might arise in weaving fancy goods of all kinds.The Box Mechanism bracket is rigidly bolted to the loom side,thus ensuring positive and accurate alignment of the shuttle boxeswith the race plate. The Dobby is firmly seated on a heavy bracket bolted to thearch extension, and added solidity is given it by being stronglybraced to the arches. The loom may be fitted with any of our different types of cloth-roll and take-up motions, Bartlett or friction let-offs; patented warpbeam locks; friction pulley; box pattern chain multiplier; patternchain controller; leno mechanism; spring jacks; warp stop-motion. Pulleys: 12 or 14 diameter by 2 face. Page 45
