I think it would be the same as a "reacher-in". For instance, from the Wikipedia page on Queen Street Mill: The reacher-in, who would be young and usually a boy, passed each end in order to the loomer. Although that one wasn't a silk mill, I suppose they would need someone to do the same job in a silk mill.

"Reacher for drawing" appears to be an occupation in the weaving industry

Thanks Kate and Elizabeth (EDIT and Phoenix!).
Reacher is what I thought had been written, but I couldn't find anything to tell me what it meant!!
