Please remember: some participants in this list not only pay per minute for download time, they pay international phone rates! (Yes: I recognize the irony that they are also paying per minute to download yet another ADMIN msg.) I'm sure many of these are sent to the whole list by mistake--you really meant to send it privately, but forgot to change the recipient line after you hit the Reply button. We all do it once in a while. But please try to be careful. Thanks.

I can modify things for individual students if not extreme.

Francie Alcorn ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2001 09:55:24 -0400 From: Michael Davis <[email protected]> Subject: Re: TC-1 The advantage of the TC-1 is the ability to quickly change the sett of the warp. With any commercial Jacquard head the harness goes through a comber board which is a fixed width. Changing the width means usually buying a new harness, comber board and having a crew come in to install the whole mess. That's why most mills are extremely reluctant to make anything other than the standard half or full count upholstery fabric. Half count being 4800 ends 54 inches wide, full count is 9600 ends 54 inches wide. In the past due to the limited number of hooks in a single head(1344 or 2688 in a double head) the half count would be limited to a repeat of 13.5 inches wide and the full count would be 6.75. Most of the mills have switched over to electronic jumbo heads which can have up to 14,000 hooks, so a single repeat full count with total control is now possible. Still the huge investment in time and equipment precludes any hopes of playing around with the constructions available to the designer. So in some cases it makes sense to pay 60 t0 70 thousand dollars for a piece of equipment that will allow freedom to experiment with different widths, setts, and patterns without interrupting the production flow in the mill. After everyone is satisfied with the new product a production loom will then be set up with the necessary features to run the fabric.

Much depends on the options you choose. Of course, current rate of exchange with Norwegian kr is also a factor. You can find contact information at http://www.tronrud.no/dwn/. - 4 - WeaveTech Archive 0108 Basic smallest loom configuration would be four modules. Each controls 220 ends. Depending on how they are mounted (and this can be varied at will by owner) you can weave 15 epi at 56" width, 30 epi at 28" width, or 60 epi at 14" width. I am using the 30 epi option which suits me very well with the yarn I am using for my current work. More modules = higher density, greater width, or both. I am not afiliated with the company in any way nor do I represent them.
