A bit of history:
"In 1892 Mr. Whiting designs the first mesh bag, with all rings formed and joined by hand. By 1912 a machine is invented to automate the mesh making process.
Patents were lodged on behalf of the firm for mesh cutting, mesh link making and also machines which would feed the mesh into the other machines and hold it fast.
The machines were capable of making 400 mesh rings per minute. These machines were instrumental in the company becoming the leading maker of mesh accessories.
In 1921 another inventor, Richard H. Berkeley, applied for a patent for a machine for cutting mesh link. The patent (US1440762A) was published on January 2 1923."
