A 1917 trade article, reprinted from the Textile Mercury, describing Richard R. Samson's hand-powered net-making machines (straight and circular shuttle looms) built in Bridport, England. It explains how the machines form lock knots with interdigitating hooks and a wire shuttle, the output per day for herring and mackerel nets, and the mesh sizes for different fish. It also notes that only plain flat netting can be machine-made, while trawls and shaped nets still require hand netting.
