The end of the warp that one that goes on to the beam last contains the weaver's lease, and when the completed beam is removed from the beaming or winding-on frame, this single-thread lease enables the next operative to select the threads individually and to draw the threads, usually single, but sometimes in pairs, in which case the lease would be in pairs, through the eyes of the camas or HEALDS, or to select them for the purpose of tying them to the ends of the warp in the loom, that is to the "thrum" of a cloth which has been completed.
When the heck reaches the top of the mill, the single-thread lease is again made, all the threads passed round the end pin, and then all is ready for repeating the same two operations until the requisite number of threads has been introduced on to the mill. If it is impossible to accommodate all the threads for the cloth on the mill, the warp is made in two or more parts or chains.
Of Willcox & Gibbs' system, there is the ordinary single-thread machine for manufacturing, a single-thread machine, with a trimmer, as used in the hosiery trades, and a machine specially used for straw hat making. We have here a small Singer machine, riding upon the edge of two pieces of carpet, a carpet machine weighing ten pounds.
As in hand warping or in linking, a single-thread lease is made at the end of the desired length of warp, or else what is known as a pair of "clasp-rods" is arranged to grip the sheet of warp threads. These latter threads are still intact in the cambs and reed in the loom.
