In the 1930's Mr. E. Gilmore decided he could make a better loom than the counterbalanced looms of the time. He figured out a way to lift the harnesses from the bottom. As a foot treadle was stepped on it pulled down on a lam, which in turn pulled jacks that lifted the harness. Combinations of harnesses could be lifted at the same time with each treadle. Thus the "jack loom" was invented and Mr. Gilmore got his first loom system patent in 1933, and started Gilmore Looms in 1936.
