Hair-Rope Picker
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short dictionary entry describing a machine that unwinds and picks apart hair-rope, which has been twisted, wetted and baked to set a permanent curl in the hair. The rope is coiled on a shaft whose rotation untwists it, then passes between fluted rolls and a toothed drum that straighten and clean the hair. A side-elevation figure with labeled parts and a detail of the fluted rolls accompanies the text.
