An encyclopedia article from Appletons' Cyclopaedia of Applied Mechanics (1889) on the machinery of woolen manufacture. It outlines the process from wool sorting and grades, scouring, drying, picking and burring, oiling, carding, spinning and warping, and also describes felted cloth production. Engravings show Sargent's wool-washing machine, wool drier, wool-picker and burr machine, Davis & Furber's wool-carding machine and wool-warping machine, with explanations of the lettered parts.
