Pioneering invention of Japanese industrial modernization

Sakichi Toyoda achieved his ultimate goal in 1924 of inventing and completing a non-stop shuttle change automatic loom, as well as a circular loom. This first Type G automatic loom commemorates his industrial and technological legacy.
The loom incorporated 24 automatic, protective, and safety devices based on more than 50 of Toyoda's existing inventions, and underwent repeated and complete commercial operation testing in order to deliver world-beating performance and contribute to the advancement of the textile industry worldwide.
