What are the parts of a weaving machine?

Warp beam: The warp beam holds the warp threads, which are the vertical threads that run along the length of the fabric.

Cloth beam: The cloth beam is where the finished fabric is wound.

Reed: The reed is a comb-like device that separates the warp threads and helps to create the desired pattern in the fabric.

Shuttle: The shuttle carries the weft thread, which is the horizontal thread that runs across the fabric.

Heddle: The heddle is a series of loops that control the warp threads and determine which ones will be lifted or lowered during weaving.

Loom: The loom is the frame that holds all of the parts of the weaving machine together.

Harness: The harness is a set of ropes or cords that are attached to the heddles and control their movement.

Treadles: The treadles are foot-operated levers that control the movement of the harnesses and heddles.

Warp stop motion: The warp stop motion is a device that stops the weaving machine if a warp thread breaks.

Weft stop motion: The weft stop motion is a device that stops the weaving machine if a weft thread breaks.

Take-up mechanism: The take-up mechanism is a device that winds the finished fabric onto the cloth beam.

Let-off mechanism: The let-off mechanism is a device that releases the warp threads from the warp beam as needed during weaving.

Selvedge: The selvedge is the finished edge of the fabric.

Weft: The weft is the horizontal thread that runs across the fabric.

Warp: The warp is the vertical thread that runs along the length of the fabric.
