A short dictionary entry describing a flax-thrasher, a machine for beating seed from the bolls of cured flax plants. It explains how a spiked roller, indented roller, drawing rollers, thrashing cylinder, crushing rollers and vibrating winnower work in sequence, and notes the problem of flax wrapping around shafts and the cylinder. A side-elevation figure of the machine accompanies the text.
