A short dictionary entry describing Short's machine for matching and measuring patterned carpets. It explains why pattern repeats vary from piece to piece and how pieces are measured and tagged so those with matching repeats can be joined. The machine uses an endless belt divided to the pattern repeat and also measures, singes, brushes and rolls the goods in one movement. An engraving (Fig. 546) shows a carpet winder.
