always point from the pulley end of the loom, and it is in the opposite box that the filling is knocked off. To remedy the trouble the shuttle must be stopped as gently as possible. This is done, 1st, by springs connected with the swells and 2nd by the check on the picker-stick. If it can be avoided the shuttle-boxes should not be tightened, but if it is necessary the spring on the protecting rod should be used rather than the swell spring. Under ordinary conditions if the picker-stick is three inches from the end of the box when the shuttle strikes it will be sufficient, but for some inexplicable reason some looms require more power to run them than others, and a four and even five inch check is necessary. Sometimes the check is increased by tightening the heel-spring and sometimes by loosening it, owing largely to the condition of the parallel-block and the length of the picker-stick below the rocker. On the Whitin loom the best results are obtained by having the point of the stick a trifle lower than the parallel tongue. As a last resort the heel strap can be put betv^een the tongue and the picker-stick. Tightening the spring will then almost invariably give all the check desired. The only objection to this is that the picker-sticks are worn out or at least cut off at the bottom sooner than they otherwise
