A one-page dictionary entry on "carde" from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It defines the word in its horticultural and technical senses (artichoke cardoon rib, teasel head, hand cards, wig-maker's tool). The encyclopedic section describes hand cards and circular (drum) carding machines, their cylinders and card clothing, and the differences between breaker and finisher cards for wool, cotton, flax and hemp. Five engraved illustrations show drum and hand carding machines.
