A one-page French dictionary entry on cotton (coton) from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It gives definitions and idioms, then an encyclopedic section on industrial cotton spinning: opening and beating, carding, drawing, combing, roving, spinning on the self-acting mule, and finishing before weaving. It also briefly traces the history of spinning machinery (Higgs, Crompton, Hargreaves, Arkwright, Bodmer, Heilmann). Four engraved illustrations show a carding machine, a batting/opening machine, a self-acting mule and a mule-jenny.
