A 32-page French encyclopedia article on silk (soie) from a late-19th-century dictionary of arts, manufactures and agriculture. It covers the silk fibre and cocoon structure, mulberry cultivation, silkworm rearing and rearing-house design (d'Arcet's magnanerie), and silkworm diseases (pébrine and flacherie as studied by Pasteur). It then treats silk reeling machines (Vaucanson, Bourcier, Robinet, Locatelli), throwing or moulinage into poil, trame and organsin, reeling of skeins, and silk conditioning (drying) establishments. Illustrated with numbered engravings of machinery and apparatus (figs. 2279-2314).
