On 60 pages with more than 40 pictures, the basic knowledge for the production of braids in cable manufacturing is conveyed in simple language. The author goes into detail about two main machine types, the bobbin braider and the rotary braider, he compares the processes with each other and shows their advantages and disadvantages.

Not only the machines themselves are described, but also the additional units such as unwinders and winders, as well as the subject of rewinding braiding wires. In a separate chapter, Herzog also deals with the application of tapes under the braid in a single operation.

The calculation of the essential braiding parameters is presented with simple formulas and supplemented with examples.

The book fills a gap in the technical literature for cable production. It is both an introduction for young technicians and a summary of the state of the art for experts, providing suggestions for process improvements.
