This method is best not only for the spontaneous return of the shuttles, but it also contributes essentially to disengaging the weft strands from each other and forming beautiful selvedges.
When there are suspended or temporary lats, which in terms of factory are called passing colors, it is prudent to overturn these shuttles and to occupy the place furthest from the edge, as represented by the shuttles 5 and 6.
The purpose of this precaution is to avoid mistakes that could result from an improper shuttle.
The pitcher may be placed either on the right or on the left of the workman, but only if the pitcher is placed to the left, the worker will have more facility for winding up his cloth, left hand ; But in this position, and in order not to be obliged to tread the step with the left foot, he will be obliged to have recourse to the application of the counter-rocker, for without this procedure the obliquity of the rope or rod Adherent to the march, would make the crowd painful and difficult.
If the pitcher is placed to the right, the workman will be able to walk the plumb with the right foot sufficiently, and in this case he will bring the flap with his right hand, but as a result of this position he will be obliged to The right, whenever he wishes to wrap his cloth, unless the ratchet-wheel of his ratchet, as well as the holes usually made to the right of the roll, are, in this circumstance placed on the left, what else Presents no difficulty to be established either on one side or on the other.
The articles launched can be woven or single-handed, single, double, etc., or with body and smooth; Both can be made with or without bonding.
When the execution of a thrown tissue takes place only by the body or bodies only, the lifting of the stroke is executed by a cardboard read, which is inserted between those which form each pass, and when There is a body and smooth, the shooting is carried out by the raising or by the flap of the latter.
The generality of the thrown fabrics, of which the weft strokes which form each pass have no binding, forms on the reverse side of the fabric, a mass of flanges which give it too great a thickness, which is suppressed by the Cutting, a binutile operation when this thickness does not interfere in any way, as is the case for articles whose back is constantly enclosed, for example, articles for waistcoats, fixed hangings, armchairs, furnishings, etc.
Cutting is a job which consists in cutting with all small, tapered scissors all the weft bands that are too sensitive to the back of the fabric and to fabric.
This operation must be done with great caution and it is essential that the flanges are not cut too close to the fabric because in this case the ends of the strands could escape from the wrong side, Defects which would interfere with the design.
Cutting gives the fabric lightness and suppleness, but it has the disadvantage of damaging its solidity.
Articles thrown together, having only one thread to the link, offer the advantage of being able, at will, to vary the crossings of the armor that makes the bottom.
The same articles, with a body and a string, always having two threads per link, it follows that, for a fabric whose chain is in the same reduction as for the preceding one, it is sufficient to employ only half the strings and Links required for a single body launch.

Shuttle to launch

The Launched
The name of Launched is the denomination of a kind of fabric which requires several shuttles, and of which every stroke of the weft only operates in the whole width of the fabric only a partial crossing, The weft bridles of the fabric, which take place throughout the space in which the chaine forms no crossing. ; And even when these weft moves are woven by any binding, the resulting fabric nevertheless retains the denomination of throwing.
In all articles of this kind, the frames are always colored, of different materials, or of different sizes.
The most widely used fabrics are the generality of shawls and waistcoats, to which can be added an infinity of other articles, which may, if not entirely, but at least in part, be classified in this Category; Such are certain articles for dresses, scarves, scarves, ties, & c.
For the fabrics launched each shot of drawing is formed by several different picks, each taking the name of lat, the whole of which forms a past.
A past is therefore the complete revolution of all the shuttles needed for fabric reproduction, as well as all the colors that belong to a single shot taken on the map.
It is, therefore, from the number of colors employed by a single stroke of the layout that the number of lats depends, and this number may vary at will, it follows that a past may also be composed of more or fewer lats .
The lats may be tracked or interrupted, and may be applied either to single body or to body and heald.
Lats are tracked, whenever card layout repeats the same colors on one shot. They are interrupted whenever during the course of the mapping, there is an increase or suppression, either of one or several colors, observing that in no case should one take into account more or less times than The same color is repeated on the same shot of the drawn drawing.
As the launching lats operate only partial crossings, a backlash, and sometimes even two, is made at each pass. In the latter case, they are passed in such a way as to insert between them one half of the lats which form the pass.
The blow or the blows are established to form the principal and regular crossing of the fabric, and as these blows ordinarily execute one of the fundamental armor, the draftsman may dispense with pointing it on the map; In various circumstances, draw its design in such a way as to be related to the fitting of the armor which can be executed either by the body or by additional beams.
The draftsman must also, as far as the subject can allow him, execute his drawing in such a way as to counterbalance or intercalate his colors so that they produce more effects, and like every throwing shot, when it takes place without Which is a real loss of material, the combination of suppressing a lat when adding another, is often employed in the formation of a drawing arranged in the following layers; But not all of the layouts make it possible to take advantage of these advantageous means, so large numbers of drawings require that one or more lats take place only during a certain number of passes.
From the foregoing explanations, it is easy to understand that the more lats necessary to form a single pass, the more rich the fabric will be, and consequently the higher the cost.When the fabrics are executed in large width, such as shawls, double jackets, coat cloths, etc., the worker is obliged to have an aid to which the name of launcher is given.
The pitcher who is a child between the ages of 12 and 15 years can easily perform the work that concerns him; Which consists merely of receiving and returning one by one, and successively, all the shuttles which are thrown upon him by the workman.
The pitcher must take the utmost care in placing the shuttles, he deposits them temporarily on the fence as and when he receives them, and so that he can easily return them in the same order as the Has received at each past, it must place them in the order represented below, where one sees; That the first shuttle received occupies the location closest to the edge, then the second, third and so on.
