A single-page dictionary entry from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary describing a sheep-washing apparatus used to cleanse the fleece before shearing. It describes a Hungarian arrangement, a kind of animal shower-bath, in which sheep are soaked and then driven into a pen and drenched by a hose fed from a tank and wooden pipes. An engraving (Fig. 4952) shows the tank, pipes, hose, pen and a hand pump.
