Textile Looms Leather Picker

Our Machinery Manufacturing Section manufacture , textile machinery parts as Picking Stick , Leather Pickers & Buffers. The Picker is the mechanism on either side of a power loom that throws the sharp pointed shuttle and receives it again as it is thrown back. For arming this mechanism, long experience has found nothing equal to a special, very tough leather, usually rawhide - either cattle or buffalo. Such picker leather is made extensively in the North of England and in parts of the USA, partly from native cattle hides and partly from imported buffalo hides.
