An encyclopedia article on machines used to full (mill) woolen cloth, taken from Appletons' Cyclopaedia of Applied Mechanics. It describes a squeezing-cylinder fulling machine, a rotary fulling mill with a main cylinder, rolls and a trough, and the older fulling-stocks with wooden beaters driven by wipers. It also covers cast-iron versus malleable-iron wipers and briefly mentions Dusseaux's and Desplas's machines shown at the 1878 Paris Exposition. Illustrated with engineering drawings (Figs. 1818-1827).
