widths, the cloth is partly split by hand, and put under and over the different rollers,
to the drawing rollers these rollers are arranged above and below each other, so that

lengths as are required, the brushing machine is also improved, so that it brushes
both sides of the cloth, as it passes through the machine, over one brush and under
another.
