[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.

X. Combination Tie-up in Two Sections. (“Tie-up Amalgamate.”)

Fig. LXIII.

This tie-up illustrates the point tie-up and the straight-through combined on the two-section system. In [Fig. LXIII.], a 600 machine is used for illustration; the comber-board being divided into two parts: a, b, c, d, for No. 1 section; e, f, g, h, for No. 2 section.

No. 1 section requires the use of needles and hooks 1 to 200 on the straight-through principle, four divisions, taking 800 warp-threads.

No. 2 section requires the use of needles and hooks 201 to 600 on the point principle, one division, taking 800 warp-threads. The two sections thus use 1600 warp-threads in one repeat.
