IX The Point Tie-up in Three Sections
This method of tying-up Jacquard looms shows the point tie-up applied to the three-section arrangement, on the same principle as the straight-through in paragraph VIII.
Fig. LXII. shows the comber-board divided into three distinct sections, marked I., II. and III. For explanation, take a 300 machine; allow 100 needles and hooks for each section, distributed as follows: Section I., 1 to 100; Section II., 101 to 200; Section III., 201 to 300. Each section contains 200 warp-threads; and the complete division of three sections, 600 threads. The threading of three sections, illustrated in Fig. LX., is applied to the present tie-up, as follows:
| 1st end, from section | I., | attached to No. 1 | harness-cord. |
| 2d end, from section | II., | attached to No. 101 | harness-cord. |
| 3d end, from section | III., | attached to No. 201 | harness-cord. |
| 4th end, from section | I., | attached to No. 2 | harness-cord. |
| 5th end, from section | II., | attached to No. 102 | harness-cord. |
| 6th end, from section | III., | attached to No. 202 | harness-cord. |
| 7th end, from section | I., | attached to No. 3 | harness-cord. |
| 8th end, from section | II., | attached to No. 103 | harness-cord. |
| 9th end, from section | III., | attached to No. 203 | harness-cord. And so on. |
