A single dictionary entry from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary describing the re-pressing press, a machine for compacting cotton bales into the smallest space for transport. It explains Grader's steam-driven design with two cylinders, ratcheted pistons, toothed arcs and a platen, and how the pressing power can be varied. Two figures (4264 and 4265) illustrate the press and a cross-section of the cylinder, piston and platen.
