First chapter of a series on commercial braiding by Edwin J. Gibbons, published in The Melliand Textile Monthly. It covers the history of braiding and braiding machines, the braid industry in Germany, England and the United States (with 1929 census figures on machines by state), and how braids differ from woven fabric. It also classifies braids as round or flat, lists the materials and products made on braiding machines, and describes the plain, diamond (basket) and Hercules stitches, illustrated with diagrams and photographs of braids.
