The document provides a history and overview of looms from ancient to modern times. It discusses how weaving was introduced in human societies and major textile developments occurred in England. It then chronologically outlines the development of looms from vertical and pit looms used as early as 5000-6000 BC, to frame looms, power looms driven first by water wheels then steam and diesel engines in the 18th-19th centuries, and modern looms using various technologies like projectiles, rapiers and jets of air or water to operate. It also describes different types of traditional and modern looms as well as primary, secondary and tertiary loom motions.

8. Types of Loom

9. 1. Primitive or Vertical loom.
Primitive or Vertical loom: A primitive loom is
generally by sinking the frame into the ground
and the work inside the pit by both feet. The
framework is of bamboo. This loom had been
known to be in use in 5000 to 6000 years B.C.
This loom are still used for weaving silk pieces
,silk shirting and sarees, muslim, etc.by
derivative weavers.

11. 2. Pit loom
Pit loom: This loom is created by sunking four posters
into the ground and with an overhang sley.The thread
work inside the pit,so that the warp threads may
absorb moisture and better weaving will result.In this
loom the combination of sley & shuttle boxes.In 1733
A.D John kay of Bury,England invented the"Fly
Shuttle".This invention wsa an extreamlyn important
event in the history and development of weaving.

13. 3. Frame loom:
Frame loom: Frame looms almost have the
similar mechanisms that ground looms hold. The
loom was made of rods and panels fastened at
the right angles to construct a form similar to a
box to make it more handy and manageable.
This type of loom is being utilized even until
now due to its economy and portability.

15. 4. Chittaranjan loom.
Chittaranjan loom:A type of
semiautomatic loom of sturdy
construction made of iron and
wood commonly used in Bengal is
known as Chittarangan loom.This
loom also called Japani loom.

17. 5.Hattersley Loom
Hattersley Loom:In 1856 hattersley and hill of
kighley,Yourkshire act in the same manner as a
power loom excepting the movement of the slay
which may either be operated manually or by
motive power to the top shaft,but the loom is
constructed with lighter foming.

19. Power loom
Power Loom: This type of loom is not drive by
hand only eclectic power is used.

20. Air jet loom: This looms use a jet of air to propel the
filling yarn strength the shed,It requires uniform filling
yarn. They are suitable use with medium weight yarns
then very light and very heavy yarn.

21. 7. Water jet loom
Water jet loom:A pre measured length of filling yarn is
carried across the loom by a jet of water.It can produce
superior quality of fabrics.

22. Rapier loom:These loom are competitors to the missille
looms.There are two types of rapier looms.Long rapier & double
rapier long/single rapier that carries the weft across the width
from one side of the loom to another.Double rapier that is one
on each side of the loom.One rapier feed the filling yarn half way
through the shed of warp yarn to the arm the other side,which
reach in and takes it across the rest of the way.

23. Projectile Loom: This picking action is accomplished by
a series of small bullet projectiles which grip the filing
yarn and carry it through the shed and return empty.

24. Multiphase loom
