A trade-journal article from The Textile Mercury (31 August 1889) describing James McMurdo's improved Jacquard card repeating machine and his companion peg and lace hole cutting machine, both made in Miles Platting, Manchester. It explains how a jacquard mounted above the punches operates them automatically to duplicate sets of cards (about 40 cards per minute), and how the second machine cuts peg and lace holes in blank cards. Two engraved illustrations accompany the text. The scan also includes the start of a 'News in Brief' column on Lancashire and Yorkshire mills.
