Abstract
A molded loom picker has greatly increased resistance to heat and abrasion caused by impact of the shuttle on the picker nose. The picker embodies asbestos fabric and/or asbestos fibers combined with heat curable resin, elastomers and materials which exhibit a low coefficient of friction, such as Teflon. The product is extremely tough and durable and its useful life can by up to fifty per cent longer than prior art loom pickers.
