A short dictionary entry defining combing as the operation of straightening and disentangling long wool for worsted manufacture, comparable to carding of short wool. It describes hand-combing with two heated steel-spiked combs and a comb-pot, and machine-combing with steam-heated toothed cylinders. An engraving of a woman carding wool accompanies the entry.
