Machine Shop Notes With the drive in a new position on the converted looms, Horace Cotton, a painter, has discovered it can also be a kicker. Cotton was painting a loom opposite one in operation, and in stooping around, he received a nice kick in the back of his lap. Cotton, with fire in his eyes, was quick on his feet trying to discover his opponent; but before he could right himself entirely, he had another kick in the same spot. After seeing where the kicks came from. Cotton said that there was nothing that he could do about it because the l«om had a lot more kicks than he would ever hope to have.
