1851 Great Exhibition: Official Catalogue: Class VI.: William Milligan
From Graces Guide
38. MILLIGAN, WM., Bradford, Yorkshire — Inventor.
Patent power-loom made by Hodgson and Haley, to show the taking-up motion. It is stated that this loom will put any number of picks into a given length of warp, and the number of picks may be altered without change-wheels or altering the weight on the yarn-beam, so that the warp may be kept as tight as its strength will bear, without making the cloth uneven; it has this advantage over any friction motion, that it will neither slip, nor fray the cloth; and it will weave wet weft as well as dry.
