Légende

Reid's Patent Vertical Power-Loom (Interior Section), 1850. 'The advantages aimed at by the...Loom are: enabling the weaver to attend with greater facility the weaving of four pieces at once, by two looms having two pieces each, in place of two single-pieced looms, as is the usual method; and, by the greater quantity turned out, a reduction in expense of manufacture. The vertical position is the best for viewing two pieces at once, while weaving, and gives a greater facility of taking in the broken threads of warp of the back piece, as is shewn by the Sketch - the weaver is in the act of taking in the broken thread of warp of the back piece...This Loom takes no more (perhaps less) house-room than the usual single-pieced loom'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
