Black-and-white image depicts a warp tying machine used in the process of tying-in, during which the machine unites the threads of a new warp and the ends remaining from a former warp, in order to avoid hand drawing-in. The machine selects an end of the old warp and knots it to the corresponding end in the new warp, then trims the knot. The Barber-Colman Company was based in Rockford, Ill. ca. 1910-1918. 8.75 x 13.75 cm.
