Those are nice pictures! I'm more familiar with the backstrap loom
in Central America.
If he's willing to slog through a couple of books in English, some
standard works are "The Book of Looms" by Eric Broudy and "The Art of
the Loom" by Ann Hecht. I'm sorry that I can't recommend books in
French. :-) Perhaps someone else on the list will know of some.

Subject: [h-cost] Vietnamese loom
....
Hello everyone,
My elder brother, who is currently studying ethnic minorities in
Vietnam, came to me with a question about a loom he saw there.
Unfortunately I was unable to answer him, since my weaving
knowledge is very scarce, but I promised him to try and find more
knowleadgeable persons, and where else can I find them but here ? ;)
I'll try to be as clear as possible, although I have to translate
his words into English, and I must say I'm not very familiar with
French weaving terms to begin with.
Basically, he photographed this :

Thank you for your help,
