A single-page dictionary entry on cloth testers from Knight's New Mechanical Dictionary. It describes Riehlé Brothers' lever-and-weight machine that pulls a cloth, paper, or twine sample until it breaks and reads the strength in pounds. It also quotes French official testing methods (drying, thread counts, tensile resistance) with a table of requirements for hand loom cloth, tilt cloth, hammock cloth, and sail cloth, and cites other testers.
