Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short dictionary entry describing a padding machine used in calico printing to evenly apply a mordant to cotton cloth during dyeing. It explains how the cloth passes from a tensioned roller through a dye-trough, over a grooved stretcher-bar, and between weighted padding cylinders before being wound onto a take-up roller. A line drawing (Fig. 3472) labels the parts.
