A Jacquard loom in action

The Jacquard mechanism, first demonstrated in 1801, simplified the way in which complex textiles such as damask were woven. This Jacquard loom in action was filmed at Paisley Museum.

    Had a class on the history of computers at my college and this one I particularly found very interesting.

    Strange to think that this concoction actually influenced the same machine I am writing on right now, and you are looking at my text on another :)

    Thanks for the lovely video. I would have loved the sound though to remind me. I specialized on the Jacquard at Uni and wish I had one every day. Maybe one day... CJSCRAFTS

    Wish the video had audio, curious what the machine sounds like

    Thank you for confirming it had no audio, I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to figure out why my headphones weren't working.

    @@SLCtechie The same here, bruh! And guess what: that was the second video about the same subject without a clue of sound! I was already looking mad at my little cat, whose sport is biting my headphones' cables.

    1:00 I wonder why they didn't also make a mechanism for automatically passing the shuttle left to right and operating the loop. Then it would be running by itself, without an operator?

    Jacquard wasn't a weaver,he was an engeneer. He invented the process wich was not welcomed by the weavers! It took years to have it admitted into tje factories.

    Do to the background music and narrator accent I had to quit watching it because music was an enormous distraction on my fascination to technology and human ingenuity.

    This video sucks. Doesn't at all explain how the punch cards are interpreted by the loom.

    Seems it must be that rods go down on the card, some go through, and those are the ones that get lifted or not-lifted every time, creating the design. I googled and looks like the card is on a metal block with holes, and it's lifted to the rods, rather than the rods coming down as I guess, but basically the same idea.
