Devon, since Jacquard technology is still called that in weaving when the warp threads are individually controlled even when using a computer, it likely is still called that with lace machines as well. In weaving there are 2 different technologies, one where each warp thread is controlled (ie lifted or not lifted) it is called Jacquard, the other is where the shafts are contolled, which control a bunch of warp threads right across the width of the fabric it is called 'dobby' control, and can be either done with a computer or without.
