A one-page patent abstract (No. 22,321) for J. B. Hilliard of Glasgow describing an apparatus for dressing fibrous plants. A revolving drum fitted with transverse beaters rubs and beats the plant fibres, while a foot-operated feed presser with crossbars holds them against the drum and is lifted by a spring or counterweight. Two mechanical drawings show side views of the frame, drum, presser, foot lever and driving handle.
