A short French encyclopedia article on nets (filets), explaining how fishing nets are made by hand with a mould and shuttle, with each mesh held by a knot. It then describes the mechanical net-making machine of the French engineer Pecqueur, shown at the 1849 Exposition and awarded a prize by the Société d'encouragement. The text explains how hooks, shuttles and eccentrics form the loops and knots, and a cross-section figure (fig. 884) has labeled parts.
