A one-page dictionary entry describing the calendering machine used to finish bleached or dyed cotton and linen cloth. It explains how cloth is damped and passed between loaded, heated rollers to gain gloss, a smooth surface or a watered effect, and notes the machine's introduction to England by the Huguenots around 1685. It includes a line drawing of the machine (Fig. 1026).
