Two pages of dictionary entries on wool and woolen manufacture, taken from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. Entries define processes and machines such as burling, burring, scouring, scribbling, carding, wool combing (Lister's and Noble's machines), sliver boxes and roving frames, along with sheep-shearing tables and shears and wool sorting grades. Some entries cite patents (Hirst 1830, Ross 1851, Robbins 1868) and refer to figures not reproduced here.
