I should have mentioned, the gimp pair is given alongside 13,5 as 1 paar No.
8
So I don't think it means that. Can't follow it in the diagram either.

 I suppose it means 13 or 14 pairs of bobbins and one extra bobbin with
 thread for a gimp (in case there is a gimp in the pattern you are talking
 about!). If there is no gimp .
 Have a nice weekend.

Could the pattern include a Venetian braid? - worked a bit like a long 
tally but with one worker and two passives.  Or could the foot edge be 
worked something like a lot of machine lace edges; with one (usually 
thicker) passive thread that the others wrap around?

 Sulochona gave me the book and, while I love to look at it, I'm not
 about to touch any of those patterns with a 5'2 Pole...

Ahhh . . . well . . .  . I havent done any of the patterns either. Must
confess, I had forgotten about the book and had to go a-hunting for it .  .
. .  The patterns are very pretty, though, and Tamara professed a liking for
all things Lohr, and if I remember, it was her birthday coming up ( to
whatever base g) . . . .

Since the booklet has been mentioned, I wanted to ask what 13,5 and 14,5
(paar) meant . . .?? Thirteen and a half pairs of bobbins ?? Where does the
extra bobbin go ?

Best wishes

All true, and I ain't telling the number g

13 and a half pairs of bobbins is waht it says... :) But where the 
extra half pair goes, I have no clue; the diagrams aren't clear enough. 
In some laces, you'll have a mixed pair (one thick and one thin 
thread) in the head, to maintain a smooth but distinct line. But it's 
still a pair. Same's true about the mixed worker pair in some of the PG 
laces (like Polychrome), where one thread is a different colour than 
the rest. But you still hang in a *pair*, however incompatible... The 
only  reason I can think of here is the peculiar way -- on the go -- 
of attaching the lace to the fabric. Perhaps the extra thread is used 
for that?
