Summary

A Lancashire loom made by Willan and Mills, Blackburn, circa 1880. This machine is number 243, identified by its affixed plate. This machine weaves cotton fabric using warp and weft threads. Hundreds of warp threads are wound around a metal beam at the back of the machine, and are drawn in from the back through a series of healds (thin ropes with eyelets) that are attached to heald shafts. As the shafts are raised and lowered, the weft thread is sent from side-to-side between the warp threads by a shuttle, weaving together the individual threads into a solid piece of cloth.
