So much is substantially the same as in 'my said patent and requires no moredetailed description; so also 1s the cross-sectionally a"shaped circumferential groove 15 forming. a guideway in the tar tace of the through the slot or narrow part of the groove,

this shank being outward of thedialthreaded at. 180, formed with spaced stops 18d, and betweenthestops with two spaced circumferential grooves or notches 18e 187. The stud also'includes, screwed on its threading, a nut 20 which may coact with the head 18a to clamp-the stud to the dial; Between the nut and 'dial isgapointer-device 21, whichis a pointed, plate formed with two lugs 21a which engage., inthe groove to keep the device rom turning from its normal position A(with 'its point projecting radially inward when the clamping action of the stud is relaxed) as when thestudfis to be shiited'in the groove.`

Onv the shank of the stud is a roller or revoluble button 22, Jformed with a head 22a and a circumferential knob 22?) having a circumferential notch andin the plane thereof a slit 220 which extends to the bore of the button. The notch receivesa circular spring 23 one end 23a of which isbent inward in a chord to occupy the slit. The springv thus forms a slip-clutch, its part 23a being adapted to engage in either notch 18e or 18f'so as to-hold `the 'button against endwise displace-V ment=,`though releasably. f y

" lV ith the nuts 2O detached theV studs are v Ventered into groove 15 through a hole 24, Fig.

entire length, the user required in each section thereof lease-cords to maintain leases. or crosses (whichthe wa'rper forms therein), the several lease cords for the different sec-` tions beingl alined across the warp.v y I Eorthe=-iirst of these' ;an actuator (each 'stud'.and' button) is secured in the dialat the lOOvmark or cut-ott point; tor'the second, other actuators larejsecured-at Ythe 300, 200 and? 10,0 marks or "cut-marksp; and for the third other actuators are secured between O and 100, 100 and 200, and so on, for the leasing points.

-Y Then the lirst section is wound all the buttons of the indicated actuators are pushed inward, as in Fig. 5, so that on the rotation of the dial with the reel the buttons will one after another engage themember 4' to stop the machine, the warper at each stop at or between the 100-200-300-400 marks marking the section with astcut-mark or inserting a lease-cord in the cross he then forms, las the case may be, except at the 400 mark, where he cuts oit the section. When the. next section. is woundlie withdraws all the buttonsA except those corresponding to the leasing points and the 400 or cut-0H? mark, so that the withdrawn buttons-will'E 'miss (Fig. 4;) the member 4t.k Hence stoppingwill be eti'ected only by thosebuttons left inward, i. e., tor stoppin-gat the leasingfpoint and also the 400 mark where the section is to be cut olif; the lease-cords, it will be understood, have to be in the entire width of the warp, butcut' marks, will serve the user if'they are only applied to the rst section, and so it is notdesired to stop-'the machineatV these points except Jfor the first section. This last arrangement of the buttons, remains until all the sections which are to comprise the warp are wound onthe reel. (Of course when each section is fully wound and cut ofi'V atj the 400 mark the dial vis turnedback independentlyof the reel'to the starting point, or where O not shown-coincides with the pointerlO; this may be done by sliding the dialaxially outof gear with element 12 `or* in any other waya matter which is not here material.) Y

In a sense we may properly regard the stopping means of which the element 4- forms Aa part as a` signallingm'eans-in that when stopping occurs it signifies to the warper that he has one of the indicated duties to perform. However, it may be desiredto afford him some special signal, in which case the described electrical signal-includ-ing means e may be'used as lfollows:

For the winding 'of the first section those buttons which are to indicate the lease-cord points and the final cut-oli' point are pushed fully in so that their heads will. coincide with the contact? (their slip-clutches being-Yen,- gaged at 18e) andthe remaining buttons, for indicating cut-marks,,are-positioned sothat their heads will coincide with the contact'a (their slip-clutches being .engaged at 187).

For the winding of each succeeding section the latter buttons` are withdrawn against the' outer stop 18d v(dot-ted lines, Fig. 5)..l

(The two signal-lamps may be differently Vcolored so as to distinguish the cut-mark stops from the others.) Of course only one contact, as 7, and'one signal device maybe used, if desired, when the generaloperation would Abe substantially-thesame as where employed as a signalL Y ig'e'zetaes the stoppingmeans member Broadly my invention `eontelnplates .theY provision o supportsL 118) on Vthe dialneach settable" to different positions; circumferen-` tially thereof and all affording gnifdeways (as` 186) which in any 'position to, Which vthe supports are set extend lin generally the same direction (or here parallel, because they parallel the "axis of o the dial)v ,1 a e signalling means to be energizedhaving the partto Whichfthe rsignalling energyfistransmitted arranged laterally of the guideways, anda button on each .support movableV along v'its iffVv guidewayinto and'out of'position to 'engag'ef tions thereon cirou'mferentiallythereof and?
