A short illustrated notice from Scientific American describing David Henderson's patented machine for finishing woolen cloths such as flannels and broadcloths. A single pass dries the cloth over steam-heated cylinders and a hot-air fan, then napping rollers, hooked stretching wheels and a weighted pressing roller finish it. Two engravings show a perspective view and a cross-section.
