    You know, I think that I may be remembering another book after all.
    I cannot lay my hands on my copy right now (we gave ourselves new
    office furniture for christmas, and a lot of my books are in heaps
    around the house, awaiting reshelving). I suspect that I was
    recalling the chapter on the various wire twists, and mentally
    inserted beaded wire into the chapter. There is a footnote in the
    Dover edition of Theophilus on page 89 where the author remarks that
    the interpretation of the function of the beading tool had been
    endorsed by Mr. Maryon, which may be what I was remembering.
