The International Exhibition: Tuer and Hall's power-loom for weaving carpets... 1862. Creator: E Bourdelin
The International Exhibition: Tuer and Hall's power-loom for weaving carpets - from a photograph by the Stereoscopic Company, 1862. This is for the weaving of pile, velvet, patent tapestry, or ordinary Brussels carpet any width required, either with or without jacquard. All the working motions are outside the loom, except the crank from which it is driven, by which means free access to the working parts is obtained, so removing an hitherto much-complained-of inconvenience. It will admit larger yam beams in the same space than any other loom we know of...The whole of the motion is governed in its action by one cam. It produces six yards of carpet per hour, much more than ordinary looms, and requires less space than most of them with the same width in the reed; six such machines may be driven by one horse's power. This loom is also applicable to the weaving of Utrecht velvet, for the lining of carriages, omnibuses, &c. Being much lighter than ordinary looms, it is, of course, better adapted for exportation'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the Stereoscopic Company in 1862, showcases Tuer and Hall's groundbreaking power-loom for weaving carpets at The International Exhibition. Designed by E Bourdelin, this innovative loom revolutionized the carpet weaving industry with its advanced features and efficiency. The power-loom, which is displayed here, was a significant improvement over traditional looms due to its ability to produce carpets of any width required, with or without jacquard. The unique design allowed for free access to the working parts, eliminating the inconvenience of restricted access that was commonly experienced with other looms. The loom's motion was governed by a single cam, which produced six yards of carpet per hour, significantly more than ordinary looms. Additionally, it required less space than most looms of the same width in the reed. This efficiency was further enhanced by the fact that six such machines could be driven by one horsepower. The power-loom was not only applicable to the weaving of pile, velvet, and tapestry carpets but also Utrecht velvet, making it a versatile tool for various carpet and textile applications. Its lighter weight compared to traditional looms also made it more suitable for exportation. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the technological advancements of the carpet weaving industry during the 19th century, highlighting the ingenuity and innovation that characterized this period of industrial development.
