A 1927 technical article in German on how reed dents (the wires of a weaving reed) are manufactured, drawing on the Swiss firm Sam. Vollenweider of Horgen-Zürich. It covers the history of reeds, from cane (Schilfrohr) to flat iron wire, and the centers of fine reed-wire production (Lyon, Elberfeld, Zürich). It then covers the choice of round wire and the precision rolling process, with photographs of the rough-rolling and fine-rolling shops. The article ends with "Fortsetzung folgt" (to be continued).
