A short dictionary entry on sizing machines from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. It describes a machine for sizing cotton warp threads, in which the warp passes through a steam-jacketed trough of paste and then between squeeze rolls, and notes that woolen yarn is sized with glue. It also describes a machine for sizing and finishing covered skirt wire. Two illustrations show the warp sizing machine and the wire-sizing machine.
