Lamm and treadle connections

Three ways of connecting lamms and treadles with the same cord and pegs, in five figures, 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 with an anchor peg (H) or a straight peg through a doubled cord (G).

Lamm to treadle, doubled cord, figure 14

Doubled connection, figure 14

Two lamms to one treadle with a doubled cord (J), or one cord split to two points. The peg sits in the middle so both sides adjust together.

Lamm to treadle, adjustable, figures 15 and 16

Adjustable connection, figures 15 and 16

The cord passes the lamm (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 peg placement.
