    Try this book:  On Divers Arts by Theophilus (ISBN 0-486-23784-2). 
    It has a section on tools that describes the tool used to make such
    wire in the 12th century.  It's about the oldest surviving metal
    working text.  The tool he describes is pretty much the same as the
    one described by Herbert Maryon in his book on metal work and
    enameling.

    Glassmaking, and Metalwork
