    The Jacquard Loom was an innovative mechanical loom invented by Joseph-Marie Jacquard in 1801 that used punched cards to automatically control complex weaving patterns. It was based on an earlier loom invented by Jacques de Vaucanson. Jacquard unveiled his loom in 1804, which used punched cards to precisely control the warp threads and produce intricate woven designs. The Jacquard Loom served as a precursor to early computers and its use of punched cards to store and retrieve data represented an early form of programmable logic. Modern Jacquard looms are now computer-controlled rather than using punched cards but still allow for complex pattern weaving.

    A PRESENTATION BY BOBBI BILLARD


    What is the Jacquard Loom?

    The Jacquard Loom is a


    mechanical loom that
    produces elaborate
    designs in an
    intricate weave.
    It was invented by
    Joseph-Marie Jacquard.
    Joseph-Marie Jacquard

    • Born July 7, 1752 in Lyon, France


    • Son of a master silk weaver
    • Learned the inner workings of the
    loom during his job as a drawboy
    • Exhibited his first version of a loom
    for weaving figured silk in 1801
    "The iron was sold for old iron, the wood for kindling,
    while I was delivered over to universal ignominy.”
    Jacques de Vaucanson: The Jacquard Loom was
    Inventor of the based off of the
    Vaucanson Loom
    Vaucanson Loom above
    In 1804, Jacquard
    unveiled the loom that
    bears his name today.

    Model of the first Jacquard Loom


    Jacquard died in 1834

    A statue in his memory was erected six years after his death in Lyon,
    France in the exact same spot where they destroyed his first invention.

    The Modern Day Jacquard Loom
    • controlled by computers in place of the original punched cards
    • scan from a photo in order to create the patterns
    • can have thousands of hooks
