Several Episodes of "The Woodwright's Shop" from PBS involved hand operated looms, but detail the operation and use the correct names for the parts. If you search for "Woodwright Shop Loom" you will find them. The host of the show, Roy Underhill, researches, demonstrates and teaches historical woodworking and craft techniques.

This should get you started.....

I am familiar with how a loom works and I have several in the house. When I stopped machining because of health, I took up spinning and weaving.

I looked at making a diorama with a mechanical loom in it but found in such a small size, it would be impossible to make all the tiny parts strong enough to actually work. A manual loom in miniature has ben done and made to work as they are a fairly simple machine and have stayed pretty much the same for hundreds of years.

 might want to take a look through this project that was done by John Madill. He was a member here until his passing a few years ago.
