Not illustrated. 1909 Excerpt: ...governing its most efficient action. As strain tends to weaken the filling the fork should be set so as not to cause excessive strain. The less movement required for the fork, the better. Correct timing is absolutely essential. The prongs of the fork should be long enough to reach below the level of the race-plate, -which is grooved at the required point. If they are not sufficiently long there is a tendency for the filling to slip under them, thus allowing the hook to catch and the loom to be stopped. Also as the lay swings back the filling which was pressed partially through the grate, becomes slack and often curls around the prongs if they are too short. This sometimes causes the loom to stop, but more often the loop so made, weaving down, holds the fork tipped up and prevents it from stopping when it should, until it is broken away. Occasionally this loop is woven into the cloth making a thick place which, especially on fine goods, is a delect. With the fork shaped as at M, the amount of strain to which the filling is subjected, and the amount of movement required, are both reduced to a minimum. When the prongs are vertical or nearly so it is not necessary to have them pass through the grate to the same extent as required with a fork shaped as at N, to produce the same amount of movement. A glance only is necessary to see that there is less tendency for the filling to slide up on a fork shaped like M than on a fork shaped like N, and it is when the filling presses against the prongs nearest the ends that it is subjected to the least strain. It is especially on a multiple box loom that the effect of straining the yam becomes most apparent, because on such a loom the eyelet would be in the back end of the shuttle-box as the fork enters the grate, and in th..
