A short dictionary entry defining the hemp-brake, a machine that beats rotted, dried hemp stalks to remove bark and pith from the fiber. It describes reciprocating slat brakes (Fig. 2499), rotary brakes with fluted or interlocking rollers, and a design with slatted endless carriers and oscillating beakers (Fig. 2500). Two engravings illustrate the machines.
