Скачать или смотреть Making Jacquard Harness Bundles

We have to make 384 harness bundles. Each harness bundle in the Jacquard handloom we are restoring contains 15 cords because the pattern is being repeated 15 times across the width of the fabric. The harness is made from linen. We made a jig, corresponding to the measurements of the old harness cords, to wind the cord lengths.

We referred to the book 'Jacquard Mechanism and Harness Mounting' by Fred Bradbury for information.

This restoration of our two demonstration 19th century Jacquard handlooms in Paradise Mill is kindly funded by a grant from the Association For Industrial Archaeology.
