Brian Lemin's 2016 article proposes a system for classifying and organizing a collection of antique English East Midland lace bobbins. It covers functional types, regional types (South Bucks, Downton, Malmesbury, Waddesdon, Suffolk), and categories by decoration and construction such as bitted, pewter-inlaid, wire-beaded, mother-in-babe, tinsel and spliced bobbins. It also lists known bobbin makers, gives a classification of bobbin inscriptions based on Jenny Baker's catalogue, and explains bobbin parts and turning terms with photographs and line drawings. An appendix shows how to turn the classification into a computer folder structure.
