Excerpt from Practical Loom Fixing For fabrics, such as sheetings, print cloths, lawns, mulls and other fabrics that are woven on two harness shafts, the plain loom is used. This loom has the shedding cams on the bottom shaft in the loom and only fabrics that are made with two harness shafts can be made on same. When fabrics such as drills, denims, hickory stripes or twill goods have to be made, the same loom can be used with the addition of an auxiliary shaft to carry the shedding cams, the cams being driven from the bottom shaft in the loom.
