Gabriele, The same photo of the lace-making "machine" is in the Prague Jewish Museum catalogue, so now I see what you mean by "round thing". I'm just guessing, but I wonder whether it's some kind of counterweight, to offset the weight of the bobbins (the bobbins holding the base cord look very heavy). Otherwise I think the combined weight of all the bobbins would pull the finished sections off the pattern, since they're fixed with pins.
