A short dictionary entry describing cloth measuring apparatus: a winding machine that draws cloth from a bolt, passes it over a measuring roller and stretching rollers, and winds it onto a board while a dial shows the length. It also notes the White, Child & Co. (London) machine, in which cloth runs under a wheel of known circumference with revolutions counted by worm gearing and dial, for use in salesrooms. Includes an engraving (Fig. 641) of the machine.
