A short dictionary entry on box-plaiting, a machine device for folding cloth into alternating box pleats, from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. It explains that each fold is caught and secured by the needle thread while the feed moves the material along for the next plait. A line drawing (Fig. 849) shows the sewing-machine mechanism with an inset of box-pleated fabric.
