There are provided improvements relating to liquid jet looms in which one improvement relates to the conversion of conventional shuttle looms to liquid jet looms; in another improvement, there is provided a storage device for retaining a length of weft filament in which the storage device is in the form of an open-top chamber with a pair of open ends between closed side walls with the closed side walls having an open top providing access to a cavity formed by the side walls. In a still further improvement, there is provided a method and apparatus for advancing a weft filament across a shed of a loom in which the filament is advanced by engaging a stream of liquid but in which the flow of liquid is interrupted prior to the filament traversing the width of the shed.
