Automated wire
production
(weaving, knitting, braiding)
The processes
under review here
richly deserve
the designation
of specialities.
Beginning with a
sublimely simple
form, a strand of
wire, they work
it together with
other strands to
produce some of
the most intricate
shapes known.
The combination
of simplicity and
elaboration – the
transformation of
frailty into strength
and utility – is
perhaps unique in
industrial practice.
