A one-page dictionary entry on calendering machines from Knight's New Mechanical Dictionary. It describes three senses: a laundry mangle for smoothing clothes and linen, machines for smoothing piece goods after washing, dyeing and bleaching, and machines that give lustre to fabrics by pressure and heat. It mentions French machines with alternating wood or paper and cast iron rollers, and includes an engraving of Poole's super-calender rolls.
