- Brush-Dewing Machine
- BRUSH-DEWING MACHINEFunction: To distribute a finely diffused cloud of moisture on to the cloth. Description : There is a lead-lined trough to hold the water (fed with an automatic tap) in which a wood roller revolves. Over this roller revolves a brush (specially made for the purpose) which distributes the water in the form of fine " dew " or " mist," upon the cloth passing over it. There is an adjusting arrangement by which the amount of water put into the cloth may be regulated. The machine is also fitted with a cuttling motion and scray. This machine is gaining favour at the cost of machines which embody jets for distributing the water. The standard width is for 66-in. cloth, but any width can be made to order
