FAQ

Jacquard is a process of weaving, invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1804. This process can be used to automatically weave textiles on a loom, which adds greater control and precision. Unlimited varieties of weaving can be used as one or in combination. This process uses a paper band which is perforated which represents the crossing of one string over another. A combination of these perforations creates a pattern. A combination of patterns creates the design on a textile. Jacquard is special because many weave types can be used to give character and depth to a design. This Jacquard process of using perforated cards was based on earlier inventions as long ago as 1725.

In the late 19th century, the idea of using perforated cards to “program” a loom was used to create other new inventions like self playing pianos, music boxes etc. You might be more familiar with the evolution of the “Analytical Engine”, invented by Charles Babbage, which eventually became the computer. IBM used these punched cards to give a computer program instructions in the 1940’s. These types of computers were still in use up to the mid-1980’s.
