Theheddle leashes, which are spiral, naturally require to raise two warp threads in everyleash to make the pattern. The beater-in (Fig. 129) consists of a heavy piece ofwood 31 inches (or 79 cm.) long by 31 inches (or 8.2 cm.) wide, very thick atthe back and tapering to the front, where it is provided with a piece of wroughtiron {not hoop iron), let in lengthwise and protruding about \ inch (or 12.7 mm.)beyond the wood.
