A dictionary entry defining sliver as a continuous, untwisted strand of cotton or other fiber ready for slubbing and roving before spinning. It describes how the finishing-card (carding machine) produces sliver, tracing the lap through the feed rollers, card drum, flat top-cards, doffer-card and doffer-knife, funnel, drawing-rollers and cans. A labeled line drawing of the finishing-card (Fig. 5208) accompanies the text.
