*****Just because there isn't one at the moment doesn't mean one couldn't be created. Aren't hand-driven looms still in wide use in developing countries? I've seen them in Cambodia but I'm not sure if they had these particular parts. (See ] - if you got a decent camera in a place like this you could get a good photo of these parts as they are used today.) My big problem is that going to the article page, these images gave me no idea what these things look like or are made of in real life. (Or even which parts of the loom they are.) ] (]) 17:21, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
******I've reviewed around 1500 images of that sort. Heddles and beaters are large and detailed items and the shot tends to look busy. The cleanest compositions come from museums where the item can't be touched. The alternatives are workshops or home settings where cramped spaces limit angle options and the background looks distracting and/or confusing. ]<sup>'']''</sup> 01:18, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
