A short dictionary entry on the cotton press, a machine for baling cotton for transport and storage. It lists the main types (screw, toggle, hydraulic, portable and others) and describes a modern screw press, in which a rotating box engages a screw beneath that drives the follower upward. An engraved cross-section (Fig. 1489) shows the box, follower, screw and bevel-gear drive.
