A Beamer was an occupation in the cotton industry. The beamer was responsible for pulling warp thread through and onto the long heavy beams of weaving looms in textile factories. A Beamer was sometimes refered to as a 'drawer-in'. The beamer always sat between the two beams on a low three legged stool, head and shoulders at beam height and so surrounded was humorously given the nickname “Yutick’s nest.”
