A one-page dictionary entry on the brushing machine from Knight's New Mechanical Dictionary. It describes three senses: a machine that raises the nap on woolen knit garments using teasel or wire-card rollers, Curtis & Marble's machine for dressing and cleaning piece goods, and wheat-cleaning brush machines. Two figures show the Becker Cone-brush and the 'Victor' Brush Scourer, both for wheat.
