    'Slay' is used to denote killing by striking with any weapon whatever; but we never say a man is 'slain' by poison, by drowning, or by burning. This distinction proceeds from the original signification of 'slay', which was to 'strike'. ( Noah Webster) (OE 'slean' — to strike, slay)

    [br]
    fl. 1789 Scotland
    [br]
    Scottish contributor to the early development of the power loom.
    [br]
    On 6 April 1789 John Austin wrote to James Watt, seeking advice about patenting "a weaving loom I have invented to go by the hand, horse, water or any other constant power, to comb, brush, or dress the yarn at the same time as it is weaving \& by which one man will do the work of three and make superior work to what can be done by the common loom" (Boulton \& Watt Collection, Birmingham, James Watt Papers, JW/22). Watt replied that "there is a Clergyman by the name of Cartwright at Doncaster who has a patent for a similar contrivance" (Boulton \& Watt Collection, Birmingham, Letter Book 1, 15 April 1789). Watt pointed out that there was a large manufactory running at Doncaster and something of the same kind at Manchester with working power looms. Presumably, this reply deterred Austin from taking out a patent. However, some members of the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce continued developing the loom, and in 1798 one that was tried at the spinning mill of J.Monteith, of Pollokshaws, near Glasgow, answered the purpose so well that a building was erected and thirty of the looms were installed. Later, in 1800, this number was increased to 200, all of which were driven by a steam engine, and it was stated that one weaver and a boy could tend from three to five of these looms.
    Austin's loom was worked by eccentrics, or cams. There was one cam on each side with "a sudden beak or projection" that drove the levers connected to the picking pegs, while other cams worked the heddles and drove the reed. The loom was also fitted with a weft stop motion and could produce more cloth than a hand loom, and worked at about sixty picks per minute. The pivoting of the slay at the bottom allowed the loom to be much more compact than previous ones.

    SUBJECT AREA: Textiles
    [br]
    fl. c.1845 England
    [br]
    English inventor of a mechanized drop box for shuttles on power looms.
    [br]
    Robert Kay improved his father John's flying shuttle by inventing the drop box, in which up to four shuttles could be stored one below the other. The weaver's left hand controlled levers and catches to raise or lower the drop box in order to bring the appropriate shuttle into line with the shuttle race on the slay. The shuttle could then be driven across the loom, leaving its particular type or colour of weft. On the earliest power looms of Edmund Cartwright in 1785, and for many years later, it was possible to use only one shuttle. In 1845 Squire Diggle of Bury, Lancashire, took out a patent for mechanizing the drop box so that different types or colours of weft could be woven without the weaver attending to the shuttles. He used an endless chain on which plates of different heights could be fixed to raise the boxes to the required height; later this would be operated by either the dobby or Jacquard pattern-selecting mechanisms. He took out further patents for improvements to looms. One, in 1854, was for taking up the cloth with a positive motion. Two more, in 1858, improved his drop box mechanism: the first was for actually operating the drop box, while the second was for tappet chains which operated the timing for raising the boxes.

  • 19 θείνω

    Grammatical information: v.
    Meaning: `slay', also `kill' ( πεφνεῖν, καταθείνω). -
    Other forms: redupl. aor. πε-φν-εῖν (Il.), med. ἐπέφατο (cod. ἀπ-) ἀπέθανεν H.; beside it also, prob. as innovation, the them. root aor. θενεῖν (E., Ar.) and the σ-aor. ptc. θείνας (Υ 481; Schwyzer 755); fut. θενῶ (Ar.), perf. pass. 3. sg. πέφαται, inf. πεφάσθαι (Il.), with fut. pass. πεφήσεται (Ο 140 etc.: Schwyzer 783 A. 4, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 448);
    Compounds: Verbal adj. as 2. member in compp., e. g. ἀρηΐ-φατος (s. also on διφάσιος),
    Derivatives: Beside it φόνος m. `murther', s. v.; cf. also Άργεϊφόντης.
    Origin: IE [Indo-European] [491] * gʷʰen- `slay'
    Etymology: The full grade themat. yot-present θείνω has an exact formal agreement in Lith. geniù (inf. geneti!!) `cut off branches', IE *guʰen-i̯ō; beside weakgrade OCS žьnjǫ (inf. žęti) `harvest, cut'. Arm. ǰnǰem `wipe off, clean, ' too can phonetically belong here, but differs in meaning. Very doubtful Alb. gjanj `hunt, follow' (s. Pedersen and Jokl in W.-Hofmann s. dēfendō). Older is an Indo-Iranian and Hittite athematic root present, Skt. hánti = Av. ǰainti = Hitt. kuen-zi `he slays, kills', IE *gʷʰén-ti. It was replaced by a thematic root formation: Skt. hanati `slay, fill', Lith. genù ` drive (the cattle on the field), hunt', OCS ženǫ `drive(off), pursue', perhaps also Arm. ǰnem `slay' (but rather denominative from ǰin `stick'). Other formations are OIr. gonim `wound, kill' (iterative) and Lat. dē-, of-fendō (with d-suffix). - The reduplicated aorist too has agreements outside of Greek, e. g. in Indo-Iranian: Av. ava-ǰaγnat_ `he struck' = πέφνε, Skt. ptc. ja-ghn-ant = πεφνόντ-, IE *gʷe-gʷ̯hn-ont-. The perfect formations also agree: Skt. ja-ghā́n-a, 3. pl. ja-ghn-úḥ: πέ-φα-ται, IE *gʷ̯e-gʷhon-, * gʷe-gʷhn-, *gʷe-gʷhn̥-. Verbal adjectives (resp. partic.): Skt hatá- = Av. ǰata- = - φατος, IE *gʷhn̥-to-s. - More forms in Bq s. v., Pok. 491ff. W.-Hofmann s. dēfendō. On the meaning of θείνω etc., prop. euphemistic, Chantraine Sprache 1, 143ff.; also Trümpy Fachausdrücke 92ff.
