A short illustrated article from Scientific American describing R. M. D. Edwards' improved wool-folder, a table with spring-loaded folding leaves that fold a fleece into a compact bundle. It explains how the leaves, catches, levers and foot-treadle platform operate, and how twine is laid out beforehand so the fleece can be tied immediately. Two figures show a perspective view and the catch-release mechanism.
