The International Exhibition: Tuer and Hall's power-loom for weaving carpets - from a photograph by the Stereoscopic Company, 1862. 'This is for the weaving of pile, velvet, patent tapestry, or ordinary Brussels carpet any width required, either with or without jacquard. All the working motions are outside the loom, except the crank from which it is driven, by which means free access to the working parts is obtained, so removing an hitherto much-complained-of inconvenience. It will admit larger yam beams in the same space than any other loom we know of...The whole of the motion is governed in its action by one cam. It produces six yards of carpet per hour, much more than ordinary looms, and requires less space than most of them with the same width in the reed; six such machines may be driven by one horse's power. This loom is also applicable to the weaving of Utrecht velvet, for the lining of carriages, omnibuses, &c. Being much lighter than ordinary looms, it is, of course, better adapted for exportation'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
