A short German encyclopedia entry defining felt as a structure of tangled animal hairs, chiefly sheep's wool, hare and rabbit fur, whose fibers are bonded by bowing, felting and fulling rather than weaving. It lists uses such as hats, steam cylinder coverings, damping in musical instruments and shoes. It also notes the papermaking sense of the term: a coarse, loosely woven, lightly fulled woolen cloth placed between sheets of paper when they are removed from the mold.
