A single page of short dictionary entries on lace and lace-making machinery from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. It defines lace types (Honiton, Mechlin, Valenciennes, Lisle or clear-foundation, guipure, pillow or bobbin lace, thread lace, warp lace) and machines and tools (netting machine, netting needle, pusher, twist machine, warp machine). It includes a short history of machine-made lace from Hammond's pin-machine in 1768 through Heathcote's bobbinet machine and the Jacquard warp machine in 1839.
