Lamm–treadle connections

Three ways of connecting lamms and treadles with the same cord and pegs, in five figures (12 to 16), from a simple straight drop to doubled and adjustable connections, for different loom builds.

Straight connection, figures 12 and 13

The simplest lamm-to-treadle connection: a straight drop from the lamm (C) to the treadle, locked under the treadle with a straight peg (H) or with an anchor peg through a doubled cord (G).

Doubled connection, figure 14

Two lamms to one treadle: a cord from a hook on each lamm (J) runs through a screw eye on the treadle, so the pull is shared equally and both lamms adjust together.

Adjustable connection, figures 15 and 16

The cord hangs from a hook or screw eye on the lamm (J or D) and is locked at the treadle with an adjustable connection (F), so treadle depth is set in 12 mm steps. ALT shows the alternative placement.
