Two-page article from The Textile Mercury (29 March 1890) describing three finishing machines made by J. H. Riley and Co. of the Elton Ironworks, Bury: a conditioning (damping) machine for bringing light cotton cloth up to weight, a filling and sizing machine for adding size to woven cloth rather than to the warp, and a mote and leaf-cleaning machine with brushes and fan. The text discusses heavy sizing of cotton shirtings for India and China markets and gives operating details and speeds. Engravings of the machines accompany the text.
