The Jacquard Harness
To the lower end of the hooks (c. in Fig. V.) the neck-cords are adjusted. The latter are passed separately through one of the corresponding holes of the perforated bottom board (Fig. II.) To these neck-cords are fastened the leashes of the Jacquard harness about 1/2 to 1 inch above the frame containing the rods which guide the neck-cords vertically as the hooks are raised and lowered. The different harness-cords are threaded through the comber-board in various ways called “Tie-ups,” which will be explained later.
