  "term": "Race",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "The channel or track along the front of a loom's reed through which the shuttle passes as it carries the weft thread across the warp. The shuttle is propelled from a shuttle box at one end of the race to a box at the other, a motion that must be timed precisely with the raising and lowering of the harnesses. On modern shuttleless looms, this component is absent, replaced by other weft insertion mechanisms.",
