Fig. CXI.

[Fig. CXI.] illustrates the adjustment of heddle (mail) and lingo through the journal, J, by means of the heavy knot at b. This knot must be large enough not to pass through the hole of the journal. The average measures for the present drawing are as follows:

Lingo, f to g = 9 inches.
Heddle, e to f = 8 inches.
c to d = 10 inches.
Mail, d to e = 6/8 inches.
Height of journal, b to c = 1-1/8 inches.
Connecting cord of heddle to harness-cord, a to b = 6 inches.

This drawing will explain the principle of raising the warp either by means of the harness-board, (arrow 1), or by means of the knot through raising the journal, (arrow 2). If raised by means of the harness-cord, the connecting heddle slides upwards in the hole provided for it in the journal; or the journal takes the place of a common comber-board; but if the journal be used for raising, the knot, b, will rise with it, carrying the heddle the same as before, the harness-cords becoming slack by this movement.

In [Fig. CVIII.], p. 73, the journals are arranged as follows:

1st journal,} for ground,{White, 1st set of threads. }
}For repeat,

}over.
}
2d journal, Olive, 3d set of threads.
3d journal,} for figure, { Red, 2d set of threads.
4th journal, Black, 4th set of threads.

In the same drawing are also represented the first eight heddles (in both divisions), as connected with harness-cords 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8; also the last four heddles of the rear journal (fourth) connected with their corresponding cords, 404, 408, 412, 416.

The first row (1 to 8) illustrates the principle of tying-up the harness and the leasing of the heddles; whereas the four heddles in the rear (404, 408, 412, and 416) show the practical commencement of the tie-up, i. e., four neck-cords in succession to four heddles of the journal.

A represents bottom-board in the machine where the neck-cords for the ground harness-cords pass through. B, the bottom-board in the machine where the neck-cords for the figure harness-cords pass through.
