Spreading Machine
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short dictionary entry on the spreading machine used in cotton manufacture. The machine beats dirt out of cotton and forms it into a continuous batting band ready for carding. The text walks through the lettered parts of a side-elevation drawing: feed-cloths, nipping rollers, batting drum, pressing rollers, winding rollers and fan-blower. It notes that the feed-cloth is divided into sections so batting thickness can be controlled, and cross-references the scutcher.
