shuttle movement Explanation: Probably splitting hairs, but "movement" sounds more directed than "motion". |

peer agreement (net): +2shuttle motion Explanation: A Schütze is a shuttle - this carries the "Schuß" thread (weft or woof) between the "Kette" (warp) threads on a weaving loom (Webstuhl) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2013-12-04 08:15:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Schußeinträge must be the number of threads drawn between the warp threads during the motion of the shuttle from side to side of the weaving frame. A shuttle that is moved across the frame by mechanical means is called a flying shuttle. If it is moved by hand, it is called a hand shuttle -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 40 mins (2013-12-04 08:34:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Reference sentence: From http://www.textileschool.com/School/Weaving/WeavingLooms.asp... "The weft yarn is inserted through the back-and-forth motion of the shuttle." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 43 mins (2013-12-04 08:37:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- About the flying shuttle: Hand weavers could only weave a cloth as wide as their armspan. If cloth needed to be wider, two people would do the task (often this would be an adult with a child). John Kay (1704–1779) patented the flying shuttle in 1733. The weaver held a picking stick that was attached by cords to a device at both ends of the shed. With a flick of the wrist, one cord was pulled and the shuttle was propelled through the shed to the other end with considerable force, speed and efficiency. A flick in the opposite direction and the shuttle was propelled back. A single weaver had control of this motion but the flying shuttle could weave much wider fabric than an arm’s length at much greater speeds than had been achieved with the hand thrown shuttle. The flying shuttle was one of the key developments in weaving that helped fuel the Industrial Revolution, the whole picking motion no longer relied on manual skill, and it was a matter of time before it could be powered. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 46 mins (2013-12-04 08:40:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Various alternative looms have been developed, most of them attempting to replace the shuttle motion Source:http://texnim.8k.com/Loom1.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 50 mins (2013-12-04 08:44:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A further object of the invention is to start and check the shuttle motion without vibrations of the loom.
