The document discusses different types of looms used in weaving fabrics. It describes primitive looms like the vertical loom and pit loom. It then covers the development of powered looms using various energy sources like water, steam, diesel and electricity. The key components and motions of looms are explained, including shedding mechanisms like tappet, dobby and jacquard shedding. Tappet shedding is discussed in detail, outlining its working principle, advantages and limitations.
Loom is machine or device which is used to produce woven fabric. It is the central point of whole process of cloth production. In other word, a loom is a mechanism or tool used for weaving yarn and thread into textiles. Looms vary in a wide assortment of sizes. They come in huge free standing hand looms, tiny hand-held frames, to vast automatic mechanical tools. A loom can as well pertain to an electric line construction like that of a wiring loom. The main task of looms is to clutch the twist threads under pressure to enable the progress of interweaving of the woof strands. The loom's system and exact form can differ to some extent; however it still performs the basic application.

Warp knitting and crochet machines are used to produce a huge range of warp knitted fabrics (warp knits) for clothing, household textiles and technical textiles. Warp knitting machines are either single needle bar machines or double needlebar machines and are available in a wide range of gauges and widths, Modern machines are electronically controlled in terms of patterning, beam let-off and fabric take-up.
In weft knitting, the loops are formed across width of the fabric Each weft thread is fed , more or less at right angles to the direction in which the fabric is produced.Weft-knit fabrics may also be knit with multiple yarns, usually to produce interesting color patterns.
Satin Weave & it’s derivatives by: Khodadad Ibrahim Anikfahim zauwad
Satin weave, although more complicated, is a flexible type of weave than the plain weave. It is called ‘satin’ when filament fibers such as silk or nylon are used and is called ‘sateen’ when short-staple yarns like cotton is used to make it.
The satin weave is lustrous with a smooth surface and it drapes in an excellent manner.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. LOOM:
Loom is machine or device which is used to
produce woven fabric. It is the central point
of whole process of cloth production.
It is a device used to weave cloth. The basic
purpose of any loom is to hold the warp threads
under tension to facilitate the interweaving of
the weft threads. The precise shape of the loom
and its mechanics may vary, but the basic
function is the same.
3. CHRONOLOGICAL/ HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF LOOM

5. PIT LOOM:
Weaving has a long tradition in Egypt going back as far
as 6,000BC during which time methods have changed
enormously. This simple pit loom is the kind that is
frequently found in farms and villages operated by men
and women who make carpets, chair covers, shawls,
blankets and bed covers
The weaver sits with his or her legs in the pit where there
are two pedals which open the warp threads allowing the
weft shuttle to pass through freely. This type of loom
leaves the weavers' hands free to pass the weft shuttle
through from side to side and to compress the weaving as
they go.
7. FRAME LOOM
Simple and effective
- wonderful introduction to weaving
- very quick to warp and weave
- strong
- compact
Create wall hangings, cushions, tablemats and
coasters. The loom is ideal for students or any
weaver wanting a simple way to be creative. Made
from solid Silver Beech hard wood the frames are
strong and robust for a variety of warps and tensions.
Small and compact, the weaving frame is ideal for
taking on holiday. The finished piece can be left in the
frame and hung on the wall
9. Loom motions: There are three types of loom
motions:-
1. Primary
2. Secondary.
3. Tertiary.
Primary motions are: a) Shedding b) Picking c)
Beating.
Secondary motions are: a) Take-up b) Let-off
Tertiary motions are: a) Warp stop b) Weft stop c) Reed
stop.
Drafting: The process of passing yarn through the drop wire
is called drafting.
Drawing: The process of passing yarn through the heald eye
is called drawing.
Denting: The process of passing yarn through the reed is
called denting.

15. SHEDDING:
Dividation of warp threads into two parts for
insertion of weft threads is called shed and
mechanism of shed is called shedding.it is the
first primary motion of weaving.
Types of shed:
Bottom close shed
Centre close shed
Semi open shed
Open shed
16. BOTTOM CLOSE SHED
This type of
shedding is produced
by giving motion
only to threads that
are to form the upper
line.under this condition,
the warp is level in the
bottom line. Hence in A Bottom line of warp
order to form a top shed B Rising and falling line
it is necessary to move C An arrow showing the space

DISADVANTAGE:
More stress or tension on top warp line
Different tension on the warp threads
Low speed
Not possible to produce compact fabric
Poor quality fabric
More chance of breakage on top warp line
More power consumption
18. CENTRE CLOSE SHED
This type of shed is produced by imparting an upward
movement to those threads which are to form the top line
and a downward movement to the threads which are to form
the bottom line. Then after inserting pick both trhe lines
meet at the centre between the highest and lowest lines of a
divided warp

19. ADVANTAGE:
Equal tension on top and bottom warp line
Less time required, so high production
Less wear of the machine
Less power consumption
Less tear of the threads
DISADVANTAGE:
Beat up takes place in the closed shed
Compact fabric can not be produced
Chance of weft being moved backward
20. SEMI OPEN SHED
In this shed, the stationary bottom is retained but threads
for the top line either passes to bottom at one movement
and again carried to the top mid way and again carried to
top. In this shed close and open shed occurred
simultaneously. In it the stationary bottom line is retained,
but threads for the top line either pass to the bottom at
one movement, or are arrested midway and again carried
to the top. Such a shed can be formed as expeditiously as
an open shed, for the upward movement begins and ends
with the downward through movement, and the arrested
downward movement is converted into an upward
movement immediately the falling threads are in the same
plane as the rising ones. They all reach the top together
but the strain upon them is not equally distribut

Possible to produce compact fabric
Disadvantage:
unusual movement
23. OPEN SHED:
In open shed, the warp threads form two stationary lines,
the top line and the bottom line and changes are made by
carrying the threads from one fixed line to the other without
any interval.

24. OPEN SHED
ADVANTAGE:
Beat up takes place in cross shed condition
Equal tension top and bottom warp threads
Faster speed
Extensively used in tappet shedding mechanism
Basic fabric (twill, sateen, plain) can be produced
Less power consumption
Less wear of loom
DISADVANTAGE:
High breakage rate
If higher no of heald shafts are used then warp in back
healds are more stained than the front ones
26. TAPPET SHEDDING
A type of cam which transforms a rotary motion into a
reciprocating motion in rods and levers by sliding
contact is tappet.
When the receives a series of lifts, with intervals of rest
and thus forms a shed called tappet
Scope of tappet shedding:
Maximum capacity 14 heald shafts
Normally produce square design
Only the basic weave and small design are produced
27. CONSTRUCTION OF TAPPET SHEDDING:
The figure shows a negative tappet shedding mechanism. A pair
of tappets A and B are fixed to the bottom shaft C at 180 degrees
to each other. Two treadle levers D and E are connected to the
loom back-rail by a bracket F.
The bracket acts as a fulcrum for the levers. The two treadles
have teeth to carry the lamb rods G and H respectively. Two
heald shafts J and K are connected to the lamb rods. A top
reversing roller shaft Q carries two rollers of different diameters.
The roller of small diameter N is connected to a leather strap L to
which the front heald shaft J is connected. The roller P of large
diameter is connected to a leather strap M to which the back
heald shaft K is connected. The tappets A and B touch the anti-
friction bowls or followers R and S respectively, which are fixed to
the treadle levers. The heald shafts have heald eyes T and U
through which the war p threads pass X is the war p sheet and Y
is the cloth. The odd ends are passed through one heald shaft
while the even ends are passed through the other heald shaft.
28.
29. WORKING PRINCIPLE OF TAPPET:
When the bottom shaft is rotate as shown in the figure, the
tappets also rotate. The tappet will depress the anti-friction bowl
and the treadle. Being fulcrumed at one end, the front portion of
the treadle moves down. This action is transferred to the lamb
rod, the heald shaft and the leather strap. So one heald shaft is
lowered and the threads connected to this heald shaft are
lowered and form the bottom layer of the shed.
The leather straps attached to the reversing rollers are
connected in opposite directions, i.e. when leather strap is pulled
down, it is unwound from its roller. The shaft therefore rotates in
the clockwise direction and the other leather strap is wound on to
its roller. The heald shaft is raised and therefore the lamb rod and
treadle lever are also raised. The threads connected to the heald
shaft are also raised and form the top layer of the shed.
For the next shed, the other tappet works with the other set of
bowl, treadle, lamb rod, heald shaft, strap and roller and the other
heald shaft is lowered.
30. TYPES OF TAPPET:
Negative tappet: in a tappet shedding
mechanism if the tappet controls only one
movement either an upward or downward
movement of heald shaft, then the shedding is
known as negative tappet shedding.
Positive tappet: : in a tappet shedding
mechanism if the tappet controls both the
upward and downward movement of heald
shaft,then the shedding is known as positive
tappet shedding.
31.
32. ADVANTAGES OF TAPPET SHEDDING:
Simplest
Cheapest
If properly used, it gives the best results within
its capasity
Action is certain
It is capable of lifting heavy weights with less
wear and tear than other shedding mechanisms
Less wear and tear
Consumes less power and give greater output
33. DEFECTS OF TAPPET SHEDDING:
Over shedding strains and breaks the warp
threads
Under shedding does not permit the space to
pass the shuttle through the shed.
Sometimes unequal shedding by lifting one end
of the shaft more than the other
Missed shedding
May impart jerky motion
Capacity is only 14 heald shaft
