1 Beetling Machine
A machine employed to give the " Beetle Finish " to cloths by delivering a rapid succession of blows from a number of wooden hammers upon the cloth wound upon rollers or cylinders. Each hammer beats the fabric about 72 times a minute, and owing to the lateral movement of the cloth, each blow is at a different point on the cloth. The objects are to close up the threads, produce a bright hard finish and give the cloth a surface water-mark. Also see Imitation Beetle Finish under Calendering. -
