Summary

Description
English: Figs. 47 and 48 are intended to show effects obtained by varying the tensions of weft and warp threads in machine lace-making. For instance, if the weft, as threads b, b, b, b in fig. 47, be tight and the warp thread slack, the warp thread a will be twisted upon the weft threads. But if the warp thread a be tight and the weft threads b, b, b, b, be slack, as in fig. 48, then the weft threads will be twisted on the warp thread. Illustration from 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, article Lace.
