A single-page entry from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary describing a silk-sorting machine that sorts silk threads by thickness and winds them onto separate bobbins. It explains Atwood and Leigh's machine (Fig. 5083), in which gage-rollers and a compound lever system direct the thread to one of several bobbins and shift it as thread size changes. An engraved figure shows a side elevation and end view with labeled parts.
