中国古代多臂织机再研究

中国古代多臂织机可加挂的综蹑数量，特别是《西京杂记》一书所载120蹑织机是否曾出现过，纺织史界的看法殊不一致。解析该类型织机的开口机构、机上经纱的拉伸变形，综蹑数量达到120时，织机仍能正常开口，《西京杂记》所载，来源有据，非不实之谈，故历史上应出现过120蹑织机。这种织机需二人联手操作，工效甚低，是多劈织机发展到极限的一种特殊机型，对提花机的发展有一定的积极影响。

Further Research on the Ancient Dobby Machine in China

In ancient China, treadles and heald frames could be added to a dobby machine. However, people doing research on textile history have different views about the loom with 120 treadles as stated in Xi Jing Za Ji ( Miscellaneous Records of the Western Capital). Judged from its shedding mechanism and warp's tensile deformation, the loom can still shed normally when using 120 treadles and heald frames. And according to Xi Jing Za Ji, the origin of the loom can be proved but not assumed so that the loom with 120 treadles must have appeared in history. Such a loom needs two workers operating together and the efficiency is quite low. As a transitional machine in a special period, it nevertheless had an active effect on the development of jacquard looms.
