1862 London Exhibition: Catalogue: Class 7.: George Hodgson
1515. HODGSON, GEORGE, Bradford.
Looms, with improvements up to the present time.
The Exhibitor manufactures every description of power looms, with orleans, cobourg, shalloon, satin, serge, lena, jacquard, serge-de-berry, and every other kind of gearing, for weaving with plain, drop, rising, sliding, of revolving circular boxes, for making cotton, worsted, alpaca, mohair, fancy or woollen cloths.
He is also the maker of a patent motion which works in connexion with the boxes, to weave plain, diamond twill square, or satin, and change at pleasure from one to the other without stopping the loom. This motion is particularly well adapted for weaving the German twill plaids, and has the advantage of a Jacquard machine up to 12 or 20 healds. It is simply worked by two plain tap- pits, whereby greater speed and better cloth are required.
