Three engraved plates (Plates 482-484, pages 555-557) illustrating textile manufacturing machinery from a mid-19th-century encyclopaedia. The first shows cotton processing machines such as carding engines, drawing frames, lapping and spinning machines; the second shows wool carding, combing, drawing and spinning machines; the third shows looms, shuttles, harness and jacquard-type mechanisms. Figures are numbered and lettered for reference, but the sampled text contains only plate titles and figure numbers.
