A one-page dictionary entry on the scutching machine and scutching in flax manufacture, from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. It describes hand scutching with a sword and stand, which removes woody shives from the fiber after breaking, and a machine that threshes and scutches flax with fluted rollers and a rotating drum of swinging beaters. Two figures show the scutching sword and stand (Fig. 4776) and a cutaway of the machine (Fig. 4777).
