A short dictionary entry describing a can-roving machine used in cotton manufacture. Slivers from cans are drawn through weighted rollers and delivered into a rotating can, whose motion gives the sliver a slight twist to make roving. The roving is then taken to a roving machine and wound on reels for spinning. One line drawing (Fig. 1073) with lettered parts accompanies the text.
