A short 1893 magazine article, reprinted from the Brooklyn Eagle, describing how machine-made silk lace is produced in Brooklyn at A. G. Jennings's mill. It follows the silk from raw skeins through throwing, boiling, spooling, warping, beaming and bobbin preparation, then threading the lace machine and using Jacquard punched cards. It ends with examining, dyeing, finishing and carding. It also gives a brief account of the American lace industry, with Brooklyn as its center.
