Research notes
A machine fixers' manual from the decade machines took over the bedspread trade: a primary source for how early tufting machines worked and were kept running. Windham also patented tufting machines (pat-us2112512a, with others; pat-us2311802a). That this is a third edition suggests earlier editions in the 1930s.
