  REPORT 
  OF 
  COMMISSIONER 
  OF 
  FISH 
  AND 
  FISHERIES. 
  [74] 
  

  

  from 
  said 
  slots. 
  At 
  the 
  moment 
  the 
  threads 
  have 
  reached 
  the 
  inner 
  

   ends 
  of 
  the 
  slots 
  the 
  projection 
  C 
  G 
  upon 
  the 
  thread-guide 
  and 
  lifter 
  C 
  2 
  

   strikes 
  the 
  beveled 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  sliding 
  section 
  h- 
  of 
  the 
  thread-bearer, 
  

   and 
  hence 
  shifts 
  the 
  same, 
  projecting 
  the 
  pins 
  across 
  the 
  slots. 
  The 
  

   threads 
  will 
  then 
  be 
  held 
  by 
  the 
  inner 
  pins 
  — 
  that 
  is 
  to 
  say, 
  the 
  pins 
  of 
  

   the 
  sliding 
  section 
  h 
  2 
  nearest 
  the 
  inner 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  slots. 
  At 
  the 
  same 
  

   time 
  the 
  brochenr 
  frame 
  D 
  2 
  assumes 
  the 
  slanting 
  position 
  shown 
  in 
  

   Fig. 
  19, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  brocheurs 
  will 
  be 
  in 
  the 
  oblique 
  position 
  also 
  shown 
  

   in 
  said 
  figure. 
  This 
  position 
  on 
  the 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  brocheurs 
  and 
  their 
  

   supporting 
  frame 
  allows 
  the 
  weft-threads 
  from 
  the 
  reels 
  to 
  rest 
  upon 
  

   the 
  inner 
  hooks 
  of 
  the 
  fingers 
  Gr, 
  carried 
  by 
  the 
  brocheur-frame, 
  the 
  

   threads 
  being 
  held 
  taut 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  the 
  tension 
  device 
  within 
  the 
  

   reel-carrier. 
  The 
  thread-bearer 
  carrying 
  the 
  warp-threads 
  then 
  rises 
  

   to 
  some 
  extent 
  and 
  swings 
  over 
  toward 
  the 
  brocheur-frame 
  until 
  it 
  

   arrives 
  at 
  a 
  position 
  over 
  the 
  mold-bars, 
  so 
  that 
  those 
  portions 
  of 
  the 
  

   warp-threads 
  forming 
  a 
  loop 
  between 
  said 
  bars 
  and 
  the 
  thread-bearer 
  

   will 
  be 
  in 
  or 
  about 
  a 
  vertical 
  plane, 
  as 
  shown 
  in 
  Fig. 
  20. 
  The 
  thread- 
  

   leader 
  also 
  swings 
  forward 
  over 
  the 
  thread-lifter 
  C 
  2 
  , 
  which 
  meanwhile 
  

   has 
  descended 
  by 
  the 
  action 
  of 
  the 
  cam-races, 
  hereinbefore 
  described. 
  

   This 
  thread-leader 
  in 
  swinging 
  forward 
  strikes 
  against 
  those 
  portions 
  

   of 
  the 
  warp-threads 
  that 
  are 
  between 
  the 
  thread-bearer 
  and 
  the 
  feed- 
  

   bar 
  roller 
  B, 
  and 
  brings 
  these 
  portions, 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  designated 
  as 
  

   the 
  " 
  second 
  " 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  warp-threads, 
  alongside 
  of 
  those 
  portions 
  

   between 
  the 
  thread-bearer 
  and 
  the 
  mold-bars, 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  designated 
  

   as 
  the 
  "first" 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  warp, 
  the 
  leader 
  continuing 
  its 
  movement 
  

   until 
  it 
  brings 
  said 
  second 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  warp-threads 
  nearer 
  the 
  pointed 
  

   bars 
  or 
  fingers 
  of 
  the 
  mold-bar, 
  thereby 
  forming 
  a 
  loop 
  in 
  each 
  of 
  the 
  

   warp 
  threads. 
  Meanwhile 
  the 
  brocheur-frame 
  moves 
  forward 
  toward 
  

   the 
  thread-bearer, 
  and 
  also 
  makes 
  a 
  partial 
  rotation 
  about 
  its 
  axis 
  to 
  

   bring 
  its 
  fingers 
  into 
  a 
  horizontal 
  position 
  below 
  the 
  thread-holder 
  and 
  

   between 
  the 
  several 
  loops 
  held 
  by 
  the 
  thread-holder. 
  The 
  reels 
  are 
  now 
  

   upon 
  the 
  under 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  brocheur-frame 
  and 
  in 
  a 
  vertical 
  position, 
  

   and 
  the 
  weft-threads, 
  having 
  been 
  caught 
  upon 
  the 
  outer 
  hook 
  of 
  the 
  

   finger 
  during 
  the 
  rotation 
  of 
  the 
  brocheur-frame, 
  will, 
  in 
  conjunction 
  

   with 
  the 
  loop 
  formed 
  by 
  the 
  two 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  weft- 
  thread, 
  form 
  a 
  

   triangle, 
  as 
  illustrated 
  in 
  Fig. 
  20. 
  The 
  thread-leader 
  now 
  holding 
  

   the 
  second 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  warp-thread 
  near 
  the 
  mold-bar, 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   star-wheels 
  will 
  be 
  so 
  moved 
  as 
  to 
  act 
  upon 
  the 
  rack-bars 
  on 
  

   the 
  brocheur-frame 
  and 
  actuate 
  the 
  pinions 
  thereon 
  in 
  the 
  manner 
  

   before 
  set 
  forth. 
  This 
  causes 
  a 
  half-revolution 
  of 
  the 
  brocheurs, 
  the 
  

   free 
  ends 
  passing 
  through 
  the 
  triangle 
  of 
  threads 
  and 
  around 
  the 
  loop 
  

   formed 
  by 
  the 
  two 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  warp-thread, 
  which 
  fall 
  into 
  or 
  are 
  

   caught 
  by 
  the 
  notch 
  <P 
  in 
  the 
  base 
  plate 
  of 
  the 
  brochenr 
  as 
  the 
  brochenr 
  

   is 
  swung 
  from 
  one 
  center 
  to 
  the 
  other, 
  causing 
  the 
  weft-thread 
  to 
  take 
  

   a 
  half-hitch 
  around 
  the 
  loops, 
  as 
  shown 
  in 
  Figs. 
  21 
  and 
  21". 
  In 
  complet- 
  

   ing 
  its 
  half- 
  revolution 
  the 
  free 
  end 
  of 
  each 
  brocheur 
  will 
  be 
  caught 
  upon
