17 Ladder Tapes

LADDER TAPES
These are tapes used for Venetian window blinds, and up to about 1878 they were made by hand from two broad tapes with the narrow ones stitched on at the required distances. On January 25, 1869, a British patent was granted to the late James Carr, of Manchester, for an invention for manufacturing the complete ladder tape. Owing to the large demand, a licence was issued to a firm in the Midlands in 1874 to manufacture under Mr. Carr's patent. In 1878 Carl Vorwerk made a slight improvement to a part of the loom in which these ladder webs were then being made. The two broad outer tapes with the required number of narrow cross tapes, are woven together. The narrow tapes are placed alternately near to the left- and the right-hand edges of the broad tapes in order to leave a space for the cord which draws up the blind.
