So, I finally got a copy of a manual for my Hamnett 401 CB loom. And the assemby instructions state that the treadle bar should be in the front of the loom, under the breast beam. Trouble is, every picture I've been able to find of a Hammett floor loom shows the treadle bar in back, under the warp beam. (Unfortunately, I can't get the link to paste.)
I've never seen one of these looms in person, so I don't know what to do. I currently have the frame together, with the treadle bar in back, and don't want to take the bottom apart and switch it to the front until I'm sure that it's correct. Help?! Thanks.
