A short encyclopedia entry on drying machines from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. It describes a calico drying machine, with steam-heated chests and cylinders in a hot room, and a second machine of heated cylinders that dry and iron starched cotton or linen cloth. It also mentions similar drying cylinders in paper-making machines. Fig. 1790 shows both machines in two engravings.
