The International Exhibition: Messrs. Henderson and Co.'s carpet power-loom, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: Messrs. Henderson and Co.'s carpet power-loom, 1862. The power-loom exhibited by this firm is adapted for weaving either Jacquard, Brussels, or velvet-pile carpets. It comprises a new principle as well as several novelties in the arrangements of its parts, the inventions of Samuel Holdsworth, the mechanician...It is an improvement upon the looms hitherto in use, in regard to its rate of weaving and the simplicity of its construction. The looms in general use will produce, under ordinary circumstances, in the day of ten hours and a half, about twenty-five yards of best or 5-frames cloth, whereas this loom will produce about forty yards under similar conditions. It works on the "single-shed" principle, but its general arrangements are equally adapted to "double-shed, " and have already been so applied. As a double-shed loom it will produce about fifty yards of 3-frames cloth per day, the cloth produced being unsurpassed in quality...As these looms are exhibited at work they become, of necessity, great points of attraction, especially to the ladies, who have thus an opportunity of seeing how those beautiful fabrics are made in which they take so great an interest'.
