Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short dictionary entry from Knight's New Mechanical Dictionary describing a crude apparatus, reported from Le Jacquard, for giving yarns a flocked effect for fancy goods. One thread is moistened with water or thin size and passed through a box where a fan-wheel scatters colored wool, rag fiber or feathers onto it before it is doubled with a plain thread. A variant uses a traveling apron to return surplus flock to the hopper. Includes one diagram (Fig. 2546).
