The Jacquard Machine Analyzed and Explained / With an appendix on the preparation of jacquard cards, and practical hints to learners of jacquard designing

by E. A. Posselt

Fig. CIV.

[Fig. CIV.] represents this machine (built by Thomas Halton, Philadelphia,) attached to a Clipper loom. In this drawing both sets of cards (one to contain the even numbers, and the other the uneven numbers) are clearly visible, and also the double lever arrangement for working every cylinder alternately. As the cylinders run at only half speed, the wear on the cards is reduced to a minimum.

III. The Substitution of Tail-cords for Hooks.

Jacquard machines having this construction are generally employed in the manufacture of ingrain carpets.

Fig. CV.

[Fig. CV.] represents the sectional cut of one row of needles across the machine; also the necessary boards for guiding and operating the tail-cords. This machine consists of two divisions (I. and II.,) which are worked alternately for the common 2-ply ingrain carpet.
