Abstract
A shed formation apparatus which has increased flexibility and speed and finds particular application in automated reweaving of the ends of a fabric. The apparatus is generally comprised of a plurality of heddles which will control yarn movement during the shed formation. Each of the heddles has a yarn mail and at least one control lead. Each control lead is under the influence of a controller - stopper mechanism which controls heddle movement and position. The actuation of the stopping mechanism is controlled by a shed formation repeat pattern output device which determines the position of the heddle and the selection of the stopping mechanism in accordance with the repeat pattern.
