  • Page 3: The Parallel Countermarch System

    The parallel countermarch system part of the cord, moves downward, pulling the In a countermarch loom, every shaft is actively shaft F up. When treadle B is pressed down, involved in each shed: Each shaft is either the upper lam D attached to the inside part of lifted or pulled down by each treadle.
  • Page 4 Before the advent of Texsolv cord, the time needed for your project. Besides improvement required to tie up a countermarch loom was of the shed and protection of the warp, the daunting. Once the ties were made, there springs guarantee exactly the same warp were still problems as knots slipped or had to tension each time you have to advance the be untied to adjust the cords.

    Assembly of the Delta It will take you approximately 5 hours to complete the assembly of the Delta. The Delta is packed in three boxes and a fourth box inside of box A. Lay down box A horizontal on the floor and open the box at both ends.
  • Page 7 Assembly of the frame The parts of the frame show corresponding letters: A, B, C, etc., at places where they have to be assembled. Open hardware bag 1: 6 bolts M8 x 130 mm with washer Ø8-25 mm and barrel nut M8 2 bolts M8 x 110 mm with washer Ø8-25 mm and barrel nut M8 2 bolts M8 x 70 mm with washer Ø8-25 mm...
  • Page 8 Place the already assembled middle part of the loom with the backside on the floor and assemble the base side parts (connections A-A and B-B). Use 2 bolts M8 x 130 mm with washer and barrel nut. Mount both side pieces onto the uprights of the middle part with 2 bolts M8 x 110 mm, washer and barrel nut (connections C-C and D-D).
  • Page 9 70 mm, washers and barrel nuts. Screw the 4 rubber buffers into the holes at the bottom side and put the Delta on its feet. Attach the plastic buffer onto the inside of the right front upright with the screw 4 x 21 mm.
  • Page 10 Screw on each side a screw eye into the little hole near the connection of upright and base side part. Screw them so far that only the eyes protrude from the wood (the eye of the screw eyes “looking” in vertical direction). The rollers have to be attached using the lag bolts.
  • Page 11 Assembly of the warp beam part Open hardware bag 2: - 4 screws 5 x 40 mm - 2 screws 4 x 30 mm - 2 bolts M6 x 70 mm with washer and barrel nut - 2 bolts M8 x 100 mm with a small washer, a metal bushing, a big washer and a barrel nut - 2 screw eyes...
  • Page 12 Collect the other parts needed for the warp beam section: The back beam, the treadle rail and the two warp beam supports. You will recognize them from their connection marks: O, P, M and N. These marks will help you to position the parts on the floor in the way they should be assembled.
  • Page 13 Mounting the warp beam section onto the Delta and assembly of the treadles Open the box that was packed in box A and unpack the treadles and other parts: a hardware bag, heddles, tie-up cords for the treadles and the locking pin.
  • Page 14 Slide washers over the 5 x 35 mm screws and screw them into the holes of the treadle rail. If you have to mount 10 treadles (Delta with 8 shafts) you don’t need the two notches at both ends of the rail and you don’t use screws in the first and last hole of the rail.
  • Page 15 The remaining screws from hardware bag 2 are used now to fix the flexible dowel in the base sides. Insert an axle through the holes of two treadles and place this assembly into two notches of the treadle rail, pushing the axle under the washers into the groove. Mount on next assembly of two treadles and an axle.
  • Page 16 Mount the floating arms at the insides of the front uprights. The marks K and L help you to assemble left and right correctly. For this hinging joint you have to insert the carriage bolt from the outside (no K or L) through the hole in the arm, then slip on the big washer and the bushing.
  • Page 17 Hook on the springs to the screw eyes at the inside of the main uprights of the Delta. Lead the spring cords through the screw eyes, underneath the rollers and hook the ends on to the screw head of the floating arm.
  • Page 18 Screw a screw eye into the brake pedal and the other one into the warp beam support; both so far that the shaft disappears into the wood. The eyes should be parallel to the direction of the wood. Mount on the pedal to the warp beam support: Insert the carriage bolt M8 x 75 mm from the outside through the hole in the support.
  • Page 19 Hook on the loop of the cable tot this bolt assembly and wind the cable two times around the disc in the direction as shown on the picture. Connect the other end of the cable to the pedal: unscrew the barrel nut from the threaded eye and put the threaded end through the slot in the pedal.
  • Page 20 The two round head screws 4 x13mm has to be screwed into the small holes close to the pawl. They are the stops for the movement of the pawl. First screw in the left one; let the long end of the pawl rest on it, and then the other screw.
  • Page 21 Attach the beam cords to the screw heads of the warp beam and breast beam. If your Delta is 110 cm weaving width, you only need 8 of the 10 cords. Assembly of the beater Open hardware bag 5:...
  • Page 22 Screw the hinges into the bottom of the uprights so far that ± 2 cm of the thread still sticks out. The exact height of the beater can be adjusted later on by screwing the hinges further in or out. Attach the lower reed holder in the notches of the uprights, using the two m6 x 75 mm bolts, washers, and barrel nuts.
  • Page 23 Place the entire assembly, uprights and reed holder onto the loom. By keeping the assembly slightly tilted, you can guide one hinge around the side piece first and then the other. Place the hinges into the grooves on the lower side rails. Slide a washer onto both lag bolts and insert them into the holes in the upper beater holder.
  • Page 24 The reed is packed between the lams of the Delta. You can take it out after cutting the straps. Take the reed out of its plastic bag and install it in between the reed holders. Now we will check if the beater is even and make a correction if necessary, using the thin cardboard strips that you found in hardware bag 5.
  • Page 25 In the box with the treadles you also found the locking pin and the tie-up cords for the treadles. There come 60 long and 60 short ones with an 8 –shaft Delta and 120 of each if your Delta has 12 shafts.
  • Page 26 The tie-up cords of the upper lams have to pass the lower lams. As a rule these cords pass behind of the lower lam, associated with the same shaft. That will help you to avoid the error of tying-up both the lams of a shaft to the same treadle: In front of each cord passing the lower lams, the groove in the lower lam should not be used for a tie-up.
  • Page 27 Adding or removing heddles Texsolv heddles consist of a double polyester cord that is connected at specific distances. This chain of heddles is folded in a zigzag fashion into bundles of one hundred. Count the desired number of heddles for each shaft and make bundles by tying the heddles in four places. Always place more heddles than you actually need on each shaft.
  • Page 28 Tying the warp to the beams The apron rods are marked at the spots where the cords have to be attached. The diagram shows the usual loop to do this. After the warp is threaded through the heddles and the reed, the warp ends have to be tied to the apron rod of the cloth beam.

  • Page 29: Maintenance

    Folding the back section To fold up the back section of your Delta, you have to move the beater to the front of the loom. Then release the star knobs that hold the extenders. Lift the extender and move the back section towards the loom.
  • Page 30 The warp wouldn’t come off from the warp beam. May be caused by: The brake lever has to be lifted further. − The brake lever is adjusted too high: release the cable a bit. − While weaving with a very low warp tension, the warp wouldn't pass the cross sticks: Take −...
