Shuttle, bobbin and cop skewer from Draper textile equipment catalog, 1901
Item 29115 info
McArthur Public Library
The warp, or vertical, threads come from the Loom Beam.
The filling, or horizontal, threads are woven through using a shuttle that holds a bobbin of yarn.
As the shuttle is passed along horizontally through the warp, the filling is left behind.
When the shuttle is all the way through to the other side of the warp, the machinery reverses the thread positions and the shuttle and bobbin are passed back through to the opposite side.
