Thanks, I am going to use this in a family-friendly art exhibit about the odd collections of a fictitious Victorian family sponsored by a community nonprofit.

Don't know how old this machine was - it's in a museum though - I might be able to find out. Machines for weaving towelling have certainly been around for a long time... (They may well have a different sound from a 'flat-weave' loom of similar date - does that matter...?)
