103 Metier A Aiguilles
The name given to the special machines used on the Picardy hand looms for weaving the special style of patterns termed " balloon " of the fancy grenadine type. A moveable lath is placed in front of the batten which carries wire hooks arranged at regular distances. The hook tops are formed at a sharp angle instead of the usual curve, and the weaver brings the whole warp down flat on to the batten, and then moves the lath and its hooks so as to take a portion of the warp aside. This part of the warp is drawn down underneath the other portion, and brought up again in another place, a pick being put in the opening, and the whole returns to its normal position for weaving the ground portion.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Metier A Aiguilles

109 Double Scale Harness
This is a harness in which the couplings are attached to the neck cords in pairs. These couplings are provided with mails and the couplings are knotted about 8-in. or 9-in. above the mails. Thin, flat metal staves are inserted through each row of couplings in the knotted loops, and the staves are operated by separate hooks at the sides of the machine. By this means, a pattern of twice the width can be woven. Thus a pattern on 800 ends can be woven by a 400's machine. The cards are cut only for figure, the ground being operated by side hooks and staves.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Double Scale Harness

110 Pennington, William
SUBJECT AREA: Textiles[br]ft. 1750 England[br]English patentee of a machine for making holes in the leather backing used for card clothing.[br]Prior to the spinning process, the raw cotton or wool must be prepared. One stage of the preparation is carding, in which the mass of fibres is drawn out and disentangled before being rolled up into a sliver or rollrag. At first natural teazels were mounted on boards. The wool was caught round their hooks and pulled out as the hand cards were drawn across each other. It is not known when iron wire hooks inserted through a leather backing were substituted for teazels, but in 1750 William Pennington took out a patent, for a machine to make the holes in the leather backing so that the bent wires could be inserted more easily and more regularly. Soon after this a machine for making the complete card clothing was made by Robert Kay.[br]Bibliography1750, British patent no. 657.Further ReadingR.L.Hills, 1970, Power in the Industrial Revolution, Manchester (includes a brief account of the development of card-clothing machines).RLH -

118 Self-Twilling Jacquard
A jacquard machine used in the linen industry for producing damask fabrics with a twill or satin ground on the card saving principle. This machine controls all the warp threads for design making, and also controls and develops the twill or satin binding weave in both ground and figure. Two or more adjoining threads are controlled by separate hooks, but two or more such hooks may be controlled by one needle for pattern purposes. In some districts this method is termed " common-harness weaving. It is not necessary to cut the twill on the cards.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Self-Twilling Jacquard
