Two-page encyclopedia article on hats from the 11th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It describes the manufacture of felt hats, covering the old hand process for beaver hats (fur preparation, bowing, basoning, battery, napping) and later machine forming of fur and wool bodies. It also briefly covers the making of silk hats. Two figures show the hatter's bow and the battery kettle.
