Thanks for your input Dave. That looks like a possibility. I have taken my number two loom out of storage - almost identical and am comparing bits.
I recently attached a fairly substantial weight (block of cast iron, about 2 or 3 Kg) to the centre of the beater and now think that that may have caused uneven beating.
So, the procedure now is threefold
1. replace centre weight with strip of metal across beater and test.
2. remake front apron as suggested and test.
3. assemble replacement loom and see if similar problems - maybe this make of loom is just not suitable for high tension work. Now to another question/post
