A short dictionary entry describing the singeing machine, which removes fibrous down from cotton cloth by passing it through gas flames. It explains the machine in a longitudinal section diagram (Fig. 5098) with fustian-covered cylinders, gas jets, brushes, spark-extinguishing blocks, and exhaust pipes. It also describes Curtis and Marble's gas-singer (Fig. 5099) for print-cloths, with a Bunsen burner and fan blower.
