Modem lace machines, such as the JL 59/1 and JL 42/1, operate at extremely high speeds and offer a level of efficiency that has never before been achieved, but they also place new demands on the logistics of yarn processing. The original version of the transverse draw-off creel at Karl Mayer for delivering yarns to the machine carried a maximum of 288 bobbins in 12 tiers and 24 rows. The arrangement of the bobbins resulted in a compact design and provided just enough space for changing the bobbins.
