g what I claim Letters Patent, is-

Ahave described the aforesaid guide or guides as working in connection with a certain inode of drawing the wires' from under the pile of the cloth and transferring them to a box or trough preparatory to their being passed through said guide or guides, which niode of drawing 'and` transferring said wires in my Letters Patent, above reterred to, bearing date March 20, A. D. 184i; butv I do not considerthis connection as material to the use of my guide or guides, as they may be used equally well in connection `-w1th any other mode of drawing the wires from the pile;

nor do I intend to limit myself tothe precise construction and form of ber of guidesto be used, their formandposition, must necessarily be varied to confor-urto guides-as, for example, when comparatively short wires are to be used, one guide placed at the side of the warps for the wire to slide sufficient to support and guide When longer Wires are to be used, more guides-will be required, which lguides may be made-to pass up or down through thevwa'rps to bring them into the proper positionv to receive the wires.V lThe change o f form and motion required to use the aforesaidv guide or guides in connec; tion with looms of different widths and in connection with the various'modes of drawing t e wires fromthe` pile of the cloth and slidi ing them through'said guides are Such' aswill be obvious to any machinist acquainted with` this kind'of machinery,and may be madewith out essentially altering the character of my in` Having fully described my,improvements,i as new, and desire tol secure by Guiding and supporting the pile-wires as the warps by means Aof a guide or guides through or on which the said wires slide, as above specified, or in any other way substantially the same.
