A short dictionary entry describing the rag picker, a shoddy machine that pulls woolen rags, stocking clippings, hosiery, yarn, wool waste and old carpet into shreds to recover wool or cotton staple. It describes the feed table, feed rollers with adjustable lever weights, the steel-toothed cylinder, the daily capacity of 200 to 800 pounds, and a lumping attachment that removes lumps and knots. A line drawing (Fig. 2084) illustrates the machine.
