When you weave balance shed, you can lock or keep it unlock the shed regulator in place but you have to adjust the tension on the loop cord so the top of shaft frames are close to the black mark in the side frame.
- Page 16 Connect shaft frames C to lams A. Your loom is now adjusted for a counter- balanced weave. If you wish to treadle one shaft against three, you must engage the shed regulator by removing the metal pin from the pulley. Adjust the tension on this spring (by inserting the “S”...
