The Mechanical Flaw of Coarse Tooth Ratchet Beams
Toothed ratchet brake beams advance in discrete steps, causing sharp tension spikes when advancing warp that distort fine linen tapestries.
Friction Rope and Hanging Live-Weight Systems
Wrapping heavy braided cord three times around the warp beam drum with suspended lead weights provides continuously smooth, constant-force friction braking.
Sectional Warping Mandrels and Equal Path Lengths
Warping directly from a spool rack onto sectional beam pegs guarantees identical thread tension across hundreds of individual warp ends.
