IX. The Point Tie-up in Three Sections.

This method of tying-up Jacquard looms shows the point tie-up applied to the three-section arrangement, on the same principle as the straight-through in paragraph VIII.

Fig. LXII.

[Fig. LXII.] shows the comber-board divided into three distinct sections, marked I., II. and III. For explanation, take a 300 machine; allow 100 needles and hooks for each section, distributed as follows: Section I., 1 to 100; Section II., 101 to 200; Section III., 201 to 300. Each section contains 200 warp-threads; and the complete division of three sections, 600 threads. The threading of three sections, illustrated in [Fig. LX.], is applied to the present tie-up, as follows:

1st end, from section I., attached to No. 1 harness-cord.
2d end, from section II., attached to No. 101 harness-cord.
3d end, from section III., attached to No. 201 harness-cord.
4th end, from section I., attached to No. 2 harness-cord.
5th end, from section II., attached to No. 102 harness-cord.
6th end, from section III., attached to No. 202 harness-cord.
7th end, from section I., attached to No. 3 harness-cord.
8th end, from section II., attached to No. 103 harness-cord.
9th end, from section III., attached to No. 203 harness-cord. And so on.
