Encyclopedia article from Appletons' Cyclopaedia of Applied Mechanics (1889) describing the machines used to finish woven cloth. It covers drying and starching machines, the gig-mill for napping, woolen and cotton shearing machines, brushing machines, hot and steam presses, singeing machines, beetling, craping, measuring, winding and folding machines, and a rubber-roller stretching machine. Engraved figures (802-819) illustrate the machines with lettered parts. The scan also includes the start of an unrelated entry on coal-cutting machines.
