A two-page dictionary entry on the mangle, a machine that smooths damp laundry or woven goods by roller pressure. It describes the old box mangle weighted with stones, the wringer-style roller mangle, a multi-roller design, and mangles used to stretch and smooth cloth before starching and calendering. It also covers a folding mangle with an endless apron. Engravings (Figs. 3043-3045) illustrate the types.
