Excerpt from Weaving, Vol. 1: Instruction Paper

In some mills, so little attention is given to this department that it is no uncommon thing to see a warp cut out of a loom on account of bad harnesses. This means extra cost credited to the weaving department, for the man who generally has charge of this branch is in turn responsible to the overseer of weaving. Lack of inspection of harnesses when out of the loom, or in the loom when a warp has been woven out, results in considerable unnecessary ex pense. Harnesses are frequently cast aside, which by means of a little repairing could be made almost as good as new.

A little tallow brushed on the wire heddles and heddle rods will make the heddles last two or three years longer than if they were rubbed with oil, and most certainly longer than if no lubricant were applied. Tallow does not run as much as oil; when placing it on the harnesses, a brush should be used that will apply it to the heddles uniformly. When applied unevenly, the loose fibres which fall from the yarn during the weaving process cling to the lumps of tallow, and the ends of the heddles stick together. This Often causes the yarn to break, especially after a thread has been drawn in, owing to the heddles not returning to place.
