MEW LOOM ATTACHMENT
Cost of Making Woven Fabrics
Reduced by a California
Invention.
An Invention at Last Perfected
Upon Which Men Have Worked
for a Century.
To revolutionize the methods of weaving
woolen fabrics is the purpose of a com
pany that has just been organized in this
City. The title of the company, according
to the articles of incorporation, is the
Hunt Loom and Fabric Company, and its
officers are: Samuel J. Hendy, president;
D. M. Seaton, vice-president; R. A. Auze
rais, secretary. These gentlemen, together
with J. A. Ledden and L. T. Lewis, consti
tute the board of directors. The treasurer
is the Joshua Hendy Machine Works,
which is controlled by the president of the
new corporation.
The company will exploit the' invention
of Robert H. H. Hunt, a shuttle attach
ment to the weaver's loom, a device in
tended to do away with the shuttle, bobbin
and picker-stick that have been in use so
many years without any marked improve
ment having been made in them, and at
the same time make the capacity of an
ordinary loom three times as great for a
given time as with the old-style appliance
now in general use. It also reduces the
motive power for running a loom to one
quarter that which is required to operate
it now.
Mr. Hunt has been working on his in
vention for more than thirty years, and
has only recently perfected it and secured
his patent. The company has a loom set
uj> and in successful operation with the
new attachment. There are some parts or
it which have very recently oeen improved
upon, and as a consequence patents on
them have not yet been applied for. As
soon as every particular of the invention
has been protected, the public will be per
mitted to vievjwhat the inventor and the
company behind him believes will mark
one of the degrees of mechanical progress
of the nineteenth century, as it is expected
to reduce the expenses of producing woolen
stuffs in America to a price to the con
sumer lower than could be effected by the
removal of the entire duty on imported
cloths, and that not at the expense of the
mill operative.
The picker and picker-stick were a great
improvement over passing the shuttle
across the loom by hand, and the latest
improved machines have an attachment by
whicb the empty bobbin in the shuttle is
rapidly replaced with a full one, but the
principle of weaving remains practically
tne same as it has been for 100 years, not
withstanding that many men ha, T e spent a
life and oftentimes a fortune in the effort
to perfect a shuttle that would increase
the rapidity as well as lessen the cost of
producing woolen goods. Looking at the
simple device that a California inventor
has created, running without a hitch, and
weaving a fine fabric, the observer who
has ever visited the great woolen-mills of
the East, is struck with wonder that the
idea was not developed years ago.
In placing the attachment on an old
loom, the shuttle now used, the picker,
picker-stick and the machinery for pro
pelling them are all dispensed with, only
the harness and lay remaining with the
skeleton of the machine. A supply attach
ment is placed at either end of the loom in
front of the lay, and a contrivance, called
a carrier, which takes the place of the old
shuttle, passes back and forth, placing the
hlling-thread between the warp-thread,
which are arranged the same as ever. The
hlling-thread comes from an endless
supply, and thus there is no waste, as is
necessary in the present method, when, as
is almost always the case when the bobbin
is unwound to the end, the last thread is
too short to reach across the fabric, and
must be thrown away. This saying in
waste alone will be an important item in
lessening the expense of manufacturing
clothes. The carrier places as many
filling-threads as desired at one time,
while with the present method only one
thread can be placed at a single passage of
the shuttle. A device which works like
the pendulum of a clock furnishes the
motive-power for passing the carrier across
the loom.
The fabric woven by the loom now in
operation with the new invention at
tached is of an excellent nature. It has a
fine selvage, and the uniformity of the
cloth is established to a very small frac
tion and maintained throughout.
The field for introduction of the inven
tion is very large, there being, it is esti
mated, about 800,000 looms in operation in
the United States and something like
6,000,000 in the world. Should it prove the
success its projectors believe it will its
importance cannot be estimated in the
benefit it will be to mankind.
The attachment can be placed on all old
looms, and it wili lessen the expense of
manufacturing new ones in the future; so
much of the old machinery is done away
with in its adoption.
The company expects in the near future
to establish a plant for the manufacture of
the attachment. Whether it will be iv
California or at the East is not yet de
cided. The company will also endeavor to
have the invention introduced in all the
Eastern factories which manufacture
looms.
KINETIC STABILITY.
By Robert Stevenson, CE.
THIRD PAPER.
In the simple illustration of compound
ed motions given in the last paper, I
showed, what is a well-known principle in
kinematics, that a simultaneous velocity
along CF and CD gave a resultant motion
along CE.
But we also called the motion along CE
the "virtual velocity" to distinguish it
from what we will call the "actual veloci
ties" along CFand CD.
I wish students of science to observe
that the words virtual and actual are
not used here as "technical terms," but
simply as ordinary conversational words,
as defined in the dictionary.
Now, by means of this illustration, I
have shown that our imaginary or spiritual
car M has by the superposition of two
motions in transverse directions acquired
a virtual velocity along another line or
direction CE, and we have supposed the
motion along CD to be stopped the instant
the car M reaches E, and we have stated
the fact that when the motion along CD
stops, then the motion along CE stops,
and instead of continuing along EH the
only motion left is along EG.
And we have asked the question, What
becomes of the acquired velocity along
EH?
The answer to the question is that
although the virtual velocity be along CE,
the cause of that velocity is not along CE,
but along CF and CD, and consequently
when the cause stops the effect must stop,
unless another cause has been superin
duced.
Let us now suppose the car M to have
inertia, and let its mass and its inertia
each equal M, and V be its velocity; we
know that its momentum will equal MV
along CF and MV along CD and that the
resultant momentum along CE would be
equal 1.414 MV.
Now to produce momentum it is neces
sary to employ force; in the previous il
lustration where the car was imaginary
the motion was spiritual and did not require
force. The difference between the two
cases is due to the inertia of matter; every
thing else is the same, but the introduction
of inertia makes the difference between
momentum and pure velocity.
Now, what is 'inertia" ? We might de
fine it as a passive resistance. In physics
we say that the inertia of a piece of dead
matter is proportioned to the mass of the
piece and that the mass is equal to the
volume and density multiplied together.
Inertia and matter are so correlated that it
is supposed that to know the cause of the
one we would lirst require to know the
cause of the other, and science must
acknowledge her inability even to imagine
what is the proximate cause of either.
We know this, however, that matter is a
substance, while inertia is a condition.
The first law of motion is the law of
inertia. "A body at rest remains at rest,
and a body in motion remains in uniform
motion unless they "be acted on by a
force."
Our experience has taught us to regard
this simple law as an axiom, but no one
can give a reason why matter once set in
motion would always continue to have
that motion. Now, it is that persistence to
continue at rest or in motion which con
stitutes the inertia of the body.
Many scientific battles have been fought
over the word inertia, as well as force, and
when any new theory crops up in dyna
mics, we always suppose it is the old fal
lacy in a new dress, hence the apathy
shown by scientists to my new "Theory of
the Potential."
In the pamphlet I have shown that a
body in motion has kinetic stability, and I
have proven that fact by numerous experi
ments to my own satisfaction, and I have
challenged, lirst Berkeley and Stanford,
and now all the scientific institutions in
the world, to prove that my interpretation
of those experiments is wrong.
I have also shown by experiment that
a body which has kinetic stability is elas
tic in its motion, and that its elasticity of
motion produces the " potential of
gravity." And ihat what we call weight
or the force of gravity in a body is due to
the kinetic stability of a body in motion.
I have hitherto only made the fact, and
the experiments on which the fact is based,
public, and have dared both of the great
universities in this State to repeat those
experiments in a vacuum and prove that
lam mistaken; but I am also prepared
with the mathematical proof of the facts
as well, and have recently placed that in
the hands of two eminent professors.
As the fact that motion is elastic and
that the potential of gravity depends on
that fact instead of the mutual attraction
of matter, is a truth of no ordinary im
portance to science, I had hoped that a
young, ambitious university like that of
Stanford would gladly have taken up this
matter and covered itself with glory and
renown; but I suppose owine to Dr. Jor
dan being such a great evolutionist, he
believes in the grub "going through all its
natural conditions before it presumes to
take wings and fly.
However, as this great truth cannot wait
until nature has raised. Stanford to a con
dition where the evolutionary process will
give it knowledge and wisdom, we must
appeal to other institutions who are not so
dead gone on evolution as to be afraid to
use a little interference to hasten the
process.
Now let us return to our car M and sup
pose it has a momentum along CE equal
to 1.414 MV, and let us equate the momen
tum MV along CD, with, an equal, but
opposite momentum, and again we have
the car moving along EG with the momen
tum MV.
In this case as in that of virtual velocity
it will be noticed that although the resul
tant velocity and the resultant momentum
are along CE, yet the cause of that velocity
and the cause of that momentum are not
acting along CE, but along CF and CD.
Now suppose we knew nothing of the
component causes along CF and CD, but
happening to stand at C we saw the car M
moving along CE, without any visible
pushee or pullee, would we be correct in
saying that the cause of the motion was
along CE?
Or if by chance we saw smoke from the
chimney of a power-house at E, would we
be correct in saying that an engine at E
was producing the motion of M along CE?
I acknowledge that as a matter of specu
lation all these would appear to be prob
able causes. Now that is just the position
the Newtonian theory of attraction as the
cause of gravitation holds in natural phil
osophy; as a speculative cause it looks
very probable, but when we come to know
the true and actual causes, it becomes
nothing but an error, a false theory, a sci
entific lie, which by virtue of a great
name has become established as an ortho
dox doctrine in the system of natural
philosophy.
The reason why Sir Isaac Newton as
cribed the cause of gravitation to a statical
force was evidently due to his limited
knowledge of the laws of energy. He
thought, as every philosopher at that time
thought, that work or energy was dissi
pated and lost by friction; but the experi
ments of Rumford, Davy and Joule have
shown that friction transforms mechanical
energy into other forms, which can be col
lected, measured and reproduced. So that
when a cannon-ball is stopped by a steel
target the kinetic energy of the ball is not
lost, but transformed into other kinds of
energy, representing exactly the amount
of energy given up by the ball when it
comes to rest.
Had Newton known that fact he would
never have been deceivea by the attraction
of matter. But what seems strange to me
is that after these facts became known to
science, now more than fifty years ago,
such men as Clark Maxwell. Stokes, Lord
Kelvin, Tait and our own Le Conte, all
professional men of science, who have all
their lives been thinking of nothing else
but such scientific questions, and who have
had no need to struggle for existence in a
world of competition and misery, why they,
with all the advantages of the highest
ability, the most careful training, and
specially equipped laboratories, should
have failed to discover such a simple truth.
If it was a case of metaphysical quib
bling over words which have various mean
ings I should not be surprised at their
difficulties, but now that they know that
two simple experiments will prove the
truth, why should they hesitate? They say
to me, you have not proven anything to
us. No, but I have proven it to myself,
and I have shown them how in one week
in their own laboratories they can prove it
to their own satisfaction. A\ hat more can
I do, unless I go to the expense of building
a laboratory to prove it to them ?
They have the means at their command,
provided by the State for such purposes,
and I have for ten months now been trying
through the Technical Society to induce
Berkeley and Stanford to verify the two
experiments mentioned in my pamphlet,
and so bring some credit and renown to
this young: but ambitious State. I am a
great believer in the future of California,
and am willing to do what I can to help
her on to greatness and glory.
But truth will not lie always concealed,
and if we have not got the kind of pro
fessional scientists in this State to seize
the torch and lead the way, we have a right
to offer it to others.
Professor Le Conte and every scientist
worthy of the name in this State knows
full well what this discovery means. They
know that if motion is elastic and if the
potential of gravity is caused by motion
instead of the statical force of attraction,
they know that it means a revolution in
science of a magnitude which cannot be
overestimated. They know that it is the
beginning of a golden era in science, when
the doubts of atheists will be smothered
among the debris of those false theories
which have done so much to alienate the
devotion and destroy the faith of the most
gifted of the human race.
They know that this great truth will
bring mankind closer to the fountain of
causation, where the thirsty soul may
have its feverish anxiety quenched by the
knowledge that nature is but a process and
evolution, and acceleration are but rates
at which that process is carried on ; while
above, beyond and behind it all there ex-^
ists a spiritual power whose will is al
mighty and whose attributes are eternal
ana infinite and whose children are spir
itual beings.
In the next 1 shall give the demonstra
tion how kinetic stability produces elastic
ity of motion, and how elasticity of mo
tion produces the potential of gravity, and
where the application of the theory is
likely to lead to the most wonderful re
sults. Robert Steveskox,
