The Jacquard Loom was invented by Joseph M. Jacquard in 1804. The Jacquard loom automatically controlls the warp and weft threads on a loom by recording patterns of holes in a string of cards, similar to the way a player piano plays notes. Warp is the lengthwise threads as the cloth is woven, and weft is the crosswise threads as woven.
