US Patent No. 1,112,996, granted 6 October 1914 to Jean Farigoule of Paris (application filed 27 May 1910), for a lace machine that imitates handmade bobbin lace. Ten sheets of drawings show side elevations, end views, and details of the machine's levers, comb bars, catch bars, needles, and jacquard-operated points. They are followed by the specification and claims. The text describes how the machine crosses bobbin threads and warp (spool) threads in a single motion, controlled by jacquards, to produce patterns such as Point d'Esprit.
