Windlass Bailing Press
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short entry from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary describing the windlass baling press, in which a rope and windlass drive the follower down onto the bale. The text explains the hinged bottom and the toggle levers that spring the sides open to release the bale, and a single illustration (Fig. 7237) shows two side views of the machine. It is a machinery entry rather than a weaving text, and its link to cotton is through baling.
