Fix errors. Apparently drawn in haste from a photo; the support for teh beater bar was poking the weaver in the eye, the heddles were not creating a shed, the shuttle was undersize, the fell was not wound on teh breat beam but spread on the weaver's lap like an apron the photo weaver was presumably wearing, etc. The warps ont eh warp beam are stil oddly hidden by the other warps, but I'm leavign that as stylization for clarity..
