A short dictionary entry on the word 'comb' as used in textile and related trades. It covers the weaver's comb for beating up weft (surviving in the modern reed), grain-stripping combs, wool combs for long-stapled worsted fibre, the doffing knife of a carding machine, and a hat-making former. It includes an engraving of a lady carding wool with a pot of hot water (Fig. 1395).
