The point was the use of shaft hangers to help with the setup - which can be done any way you want.

SallyE has commented on Need help with Harrisville pulleys and tie-ups:
I renovated a Harrisville last summer and had a devil of a time with the shafts, getting them the right height, etc. Finally, I took a page from the countermarch folks and made a set of shaft hangers so that I could hang the shafts from the castle, get them at the right height, and then run the chords. It was much easier both to set up and to run the new chords - get them at the right height. I would think that it would be useful for moving the loom also.
To determine the right height, I just hung a set of weighted chords over the back and breast beams, through the shafts. Using those, I could see how high to hang things so that the warp would go straight through the heddles.

SallyE has commented on FS: Dryad Leceister Tapestry Loom:
I'm sure that is the reason, and I've seen pictures of wide tapestry looms with two sets of treddles, but these treddles seem to be all in the center in the picture.
