Abstract
A weaving machine comprising a dobby and a Jacquard machine as the control members, wherein the dobby is controlled from a single pattern card in the Jacquard machine. Harness cords connect the Jacquard hooks to the heddles and to a movably supported member in the dobby. The coordinated movements of the Jacquard hooks will effect a simultaneous movement of the movably supported member in the dobby so that operations of the Jacquard machine in response to the information on the pattern card will simultaneously effect an operation of the dobby.
