Abstract
Methods for identifying textile supports are disclosed, including providing a reference element at a fixed location relative to the longitudinal axis of the textile support, adjusting the reference element to establish a predetermined location for the textile support, and identifying the textile support by determining the location of the reference element with respect to a fixed location relative to the longitudinal axis of the textile support. Apparatus for identifying textile supports are also disclosed, including a fixed sensor at a fixed location spaced from a textile support along its longitudinal axis and a movable reference element at a fixed location relative to the longitudinal axis of the textile support and movable with respect to the fixed sensor so that the textile support can be identified by determining the location of the movable reference element with respect to the fixed sensor.
