US Patent 1,631,886, granted to Sam Pepper of Nottingham, England, on June 7, 1927 (filed May 15, 1926; British priority May 12, 1925). It describes double-fronted lace fabrics, with relief on both faces, made on twist lace machines of the curtain type. The method uses two guide bars carrying the basic warp and spool threads, together with pickers or jacks. Intermediate bars carry right- and reverse-twisted threads to produce wickering, plaited pillars, combination nips, filet net and fast-edged scallops. The text covers the machine threading, a table of quarter motions for the bars and pickers, picker-sequence formulas for filet, and six claims. Four sheets of drawings show the machine and the thread movements.
