Dent

Dent
DENT
The wire or space in a loom reed. The wires are separated by spaces through which the warp ends pass. The number of dents per inch indicates the set of the cloth. The Lancashire system of counting is based on the number of dents in two inches, thus an 80 Stockport reed has So dents or splits in two inches. This a is a very convenient system of notation because when there are two ends in each dent the number of the reed also gives the number of threads per inch in the reed. In another system the reed count is the number of dents in one inch. In such a case a 20/5 reed would have 20 dents per inch and 5 ends in each dent, a total of 100 ends per inch in the reed.
