A two-page dictionary entry on the machinery used to prepare rattan, which is imported from Singapore and sorted, washed, scraped, split and stripped. It describes slitting and stripping machines with rotary and tubular cutters, shaving machines for joints and strip edges, and patents by Sawyer and Watkins. Three figures (Figs. 4182-4184) illustrate the machines, and the entry notes uses of the outer strips (chair cane), the pith (reed) and the shavings.
