A 1913 trade article by Montcalm on new styles of machine-made braid trimmings, especially those in Bulgarian, Balkan and Roman color combinations. It describes the spool counts, colors and materials (artificial silk, mercerized cotton, gimp) used on lace braiding machines, including a 24 line lace braider and a 20 line Radium braider. Photographs show braid samples, and grid charts show the jacquard-controlled spool and color placement for each braid. The braids were used as trimmings for hats and coats.
