Boott Textile Mill Museum at Lowell NHP

Memorys first thing I learned was (I think it was 20 ends) So why fool with 10 or so ends

so I would rip a few more, anything over 20 ends you put the red light on and the smash

piercer would fix my little smash.

The music is basicly from the Album "The Moldau" from the composer B. Smetana...

I'd rather hear the looms running. I like the music but being a 3rd generation weaver the sound of the looms are wonderful.

When a warp end breaks they were stopped by electrical drop wires, some of the older ones were mechanical sawbars that stopped the loom if a end Warp yarn ) would break..

Hi! I believe the people at the NHP did say the looms would stop if a warp end broke. I was guessing they were electric, but I didn't think to ask. I should probably add a link to the Lowell NHP website - they might have answers there. I'll go do that...

Hi, this video brings back memories. When I first started weaving in 1988, I ran Draper looms like these. Well, with the exception that they were powered with an electric motor, rather than the belts I see here. My company made rug backing fabric. The company still runs these looms today. Do these looms have an electric stop motion? Just wondering if the loom would stop if an warp end broke. How is the pully power generated? In the old days they were steam powered.
