In a loom of the type in which a series of set screws impinge upon and grip the surface of the lower backing strip of the loom reed to hold the reed in position, distortion of the dent wires by overtightening of the set screws is prevented by means of an improved backing strip construction. The dent wires are shortened so that they extend down only partially into the space between a pair of spaced parallel side plates, each of which has an upper portion between which the lower ends of the dent wires extend and terminate, and a lower portion against which the set screws impinge. A force absorbing, spacer plate or bar is sandwiched between the lower portion of the side plates in abutting relation with the lower ends of the dent wires and absorbs the force of the set screws.
