A short dictionary entry on the sheep-shearing table, a bench or holder that restrains a sheep during shearing. It describes three designs: a canvas-bed table on a double X-frame (Fig. 4943), a board-top table with cords, a curved spring hook and eye-bolts to secure the legs and neck (Fig. 4944), and a pivoted trough that presents the animal to the shearer and dumps it afterward (Fig. 4945).
