Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton Loom Fixing The author has been a weaver, loom fixer, second hand and overseer, and is now a designer in a large New England cot ton mill. His experience has been wholly on cotton goods, embracing all kinds of cotton looms from the plain loom to the jacquard, having managed full sections of all types. He is instructor in one of the most practical textile schools in the United States. A book on practical loom fixing should be as free from technicalities as possible. The reader should be led directly to the heart of the subject. The men who are to benefit from such a book are usually working hard in the mills and at the close of the day's work are not in a condition to study or understand a mass of technical details. The object of the book is to make better workmen, get them interested and keep them interested so they will take a greater interest in their work in the mill. In this way the readers are made to feel that there is more to the art of weaving and fixing than merely throwing in a shuttle or using a wrench.
