Alarm device on the knitting machine
Warning devices were installed on knitting machines. If a loom’s cotton thread was cut off, the alarm light would turn on and the loom would cease working in order to stop holes appearing in the knitted fabrics. Once the workers fixed the cotton threads on the reel again, the loom could restart.
