Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short encyclopedia entry describing the carding of cotton, in which the fibres are disentangled and laid parallel. It explains the wire-toothed card mounted on cylinders, the transfer of the cotton between cylinders, and its removal as a fleece by the doffer and doffing-knife. The fleece is then condensed through a funnel into a sliver ready for drawing or doubling, with a cross-reference to Spinning.
