Don & Low Limited - Woman weaving with Ecco Loader

Photograph, black and white, showing the various processes jute goes through at Don & Low Ltd., jute manufacturers.This particular image depicts a woman placing cops of jute into an ecco loader, positioned at the side of the loom. This machine would automatically fire a new cop (making up the weft strands in the material) into the shuttle once the previous cop had ended. This enabled the loom to run continuously allowing one weaver to look after more than one loom at a time.
