Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page 1861 Scientific American article describing Benjamin James's patented machine for drying washed wool. Wet wool passes between india-rubber rollers, is fluffed by a revolving picker, and is carried between two wire-cloth aprons through a steam-heated drying box with a fan-driven hot air supply. An engraving shows the machine's parts, and the text gives the patent date (May 28, 1861) and the inventor's address in Worcester, Mass.
