Abstract
A power loom harness fitted with an upper and a lower cross-sectional contoured rail is arranged to support heddles by extending through eyes at the ends of the heddles. An inset is combined with a first of the rails in order to reduce play, in the direction of motion of the harness, between drive surfaces of the first rail and corresponding mating surfaces of the heddle eyes, so that play between the first rail and corresponding heddle eyes is less than play between the second of the two rails and corresponding heddle eyes, so that the first rail drives the heddle in two directions and the second rails serves a guiding function.
