Explanation:
Já que ninguém respondeu, vou tentar!
"Tappet looms are so named by reason of the mechanism
employed to control the healds." (veja 1º llink)

"tappet" é a peça que segue o movimento de um eixo-comando, ou eixo excêntrico. Acho que o termo em português é tirante.
Entendo pela frase que são repetições do "tappet" de 4 ou 8 ciclos.
