Jacquard loom
     
         /zhah-kar'/ A mechanical loom, invented by
        {Joseph-Marie Jacquard} in 1801, which used the holes punched
        in pasteboard {punch cards} (which see) to control the weaving
        of patterns in fabric.  It was the first machine to use punch
        cards, although it did no computation based on them.
