A dictionary entry on "Drawing" from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. It explains the drawing and doubling of fiber slivers for cotton, worsted wool and flax, including the use of drawing-rollers, gills, spreading-frames and roving-machines, and is illustrated with an engraving of flax drawing (Fig. 1749). A short second sense defines drawing in weaving as the arrangement of heddles for the pattern, i.e. the draft or cording of the loom.
