A two-page dictionary entry describing machines for forming hat-bodies from wool and fur. It explains the wool hat former, which winds a carded web onto a rotating double cone supported on conical rollers and vibrated by a crank, and the fur former, which uses a perforated cone with suction and a fur picker. It credits Mason, Grant and Henry A. Wells and describes the steps for consolidating the bodies in hot water. One engraving (Fig. 1326) shows the wool hat former.
