A jacquard machine used in the linen industry for producing damask fabrics with a twill or satin ground on the card saving principle. This machine controls all the warp threads for design making, and also controls and develops the twill or satin binding weave in both ground and figure.

In some districts this method is termed " common-harness weaving. It is not necessary to cut the twill on the cards.
