SHUTTLE DESIGNS.
No. 64.
In spite of hundreds of experiments our trade form of
shuttle eye remained of one standard shape since 18j~, the
alteration in detail being hardly noticeable to the casual
observer. Quite recently we have brought out new features
of great importance. Shuttle No. 64 shows the standard
form. These numbers vary according to size and hand
and spring; that is, there are many other numbers which
would contain similar parts. o. 226 shows an intennediate
improvement which represents an advance over No. 64;
but No. 2n, invented by Mr. Jonas Northrop, shows the
latest and best design, being better for special as well as
general Lise, superior for fine filling, coarse filling, bobbins
and cops. We recommend our customers to give this form a
trial. If ordering, specify shuttles to fit our looms with eye

The above illustration shows the power- loom as sold
in 1830 in England. The relative position of the operating
parts is precisely similar to that used to- day. In fact, the
weft- fork is the only notable omission from the mechanisms
employed seventy years later.

Iteeping the looms at the present speed, viz.,
85 shots a minllte, it will prove a great advalltage, while,
by ' workillg at IJO shots, the IOOJJls 7vill cost double for

il~ ferior, or i11mauaged in the preparation, the ' web IIInst

About thl'ee years ago, we raised the speed

some 1I1Oldhs, we found tIle effects mentioned above more
than counterbalance auy advmdage gailled by the speed.
