? Digital Heddles: Jacquard loom and card decks ?

Hi, OK, I'm after the really old stuff. The card deck for the Jacquard Loom inspired Babbage to use it as a programming device and is the precursor of the Hollerith card. So I've been trying to locate some old Jacquard Loom card decks and maybe even an abandoned loom to add to my collection and show to my students. Lots of 19th Century Jacquard weavings on eBay but never any cards. A web search reveals that some company's will still punch out cards for Card Jacquards, but would rather create floppies for Electronic Jacquards. Indeed it would be nice to have an example of each. Does anyone know where any of these devices might be had for scrap? I've made some attempts to contact weaving companies, but as you might imagine they have more important fish to fry than supplying collectors with their discards. So before I get really serious and begin making long-distance phone calls and personal visits, I thought I'd ask if anyone on the list could provide me with a few pointers. Anyone else interested in Jacquards? Cheers, Nick gessler(a)ucla.edu
