Weaving Mechanisms Quiz

The warp yarns passing through the 1st heald frame form the bottom shed line.

The reversing mechanism allows the 1st frame to move up while the 2nd frame moves down, enabling continuous shedding.

Positive tappet shedding is defined as shedding where heald frames are raised and lowered by double cams.

<p>The tappet shaft provides the drive for the double cams that raise and lower the heald frames during the shedding operation.</p> Signup and view all the answers
