A page from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré (1904) containing part of the dictionary entry 'Filet', covering its many senses. The portions most relevant to textiles are the nautical entries on netting (bastingage nets, Bullivant steel torpedo nets) and the fishing entry describing hand netting with a netting shuttle (navette) and a mesh gauge stick, with knots tied on the thumb or under the little finger. It also briefly distinguishes French (two-thread) and English (single-thread) machines for making fishing nets. The rest of the page covers unrelated senses: horse bridle, architectural flashing, and culinary preparations of beef, venison and sole.
