Each hook is connected by the machine makers to a special form of neck cord that is made endless, a half knot keeping the hook in position. The loop of the harness lines is fastened to the other end, and the lines are also knotted directly below the hook. The hooks may be readily taken from the neck cord or from the harness lines, as desired.

Sometimes, instead of this method, a cord is passed through the loops at the top of the harness lines in each long row, commencing at the front. TYING HARNESS LINES TO COUPLINGS 14. Harness Lines Tied Above the Comber Board. The harness lines may be tied either above or below the comber board. When the harness lines are tied to the couplings above the comber board, the couplings are usually threaded through the comber board in some convenient place away from the loom, after which they are taken to the loom and the comber board leveled and securely fastened in position. To level the comber board, boards about ' inch in thickness are passed under it, one end of these boards resting on the whip roll and the other on the breast beam of the loom. Beveled pieces of wood are then wedged between these boards and the comber board until the latter assumes its correct position. All parts are then securely tied, so that...
