Braiding machine

1925 braiding machine in action
The smallest braiding machine consists of two horn gears and three bobbins. This produces a flat, 3-strand braid.

A braiding machine is a device that interlaces three or more strands of yarn or wire to create a variety of materials, including rope, reinforced hose, covered power cords, and some types of lace.[1][2] Braiding materials include natural and synthetic yarns, metal wires, leather tapes, and others.
