Two different sets of lacing twines are used, viz.:
1st. Set of fine thread running from three spools shown in a vertical position on the side of the machine, used for threading the needles running in a horizontal direction. In our explanation we denote this twine with “a.” (7-ply, No. 14 soft laid mule yarn.)
2d. The set of heavy twine running from spools arranged horizontally near the bottom in rear of machine is threaded to the vertical needles. This twine is indicated by “b” in our explanations. (No. 24 braid banding.)

In [Fig. 38], arrow, e, illustrates the twine, “a,” as coming off the spools. On the bottom of the “holder” is an extension which is separately illustrated in its front view by [Fig. 40]. This extension contains a pin marked k, which guides the twine into the hole, l; (e and arrow in [Fig. 38] correspond with e and arrow in [Fig. 40]).
