Looms and parts of a loom

There are 18 looms consisting of a frame (wood of the fir), a roller of the warp and a finished product, jacquard mechanism, a foot lever (pedal), a tensioning bar, leaves (8 pieces), weights (4.800–11.400 pieces), a cross reed, cards made of cardboard, a shuttle, a coiler for winding, 400–800 needles for punching cards (patterns) and a prism.
