A short dictionary entry on the portable press from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary, illustrated with a portable baling press mounted on wheels. The text explains how the press works: the rear wheels sit in pits, a sweep worked by draft animals turns a capstan, and toggle-arms driven by a rope compress the bale. It also describes the adjustable abutment head, the balanced lids and the hoop passages.
