An engraving showing a person in 19th-century attire operating a mechanical squeezer. The person is standing at a table, feeding a long, thin material (likely cloth) onto a platform. The squeezer is a large, complex machine with a horizontal cylinder and several gears. A large hand wheel is visible on the side, and a curved pipe or hose extends from the machine towards the right. STIFFENING MANGLE. Fig. 2. An engraving of a mechanical stiffening mangle. The machine consists of three large, horizontal rollers stacked vertically, mounted on a sturdy metal frame. A large hand wheel is attached to the left side of the frame, connected to the rollers via a gear system. The rollers are positioned to compress and process a material, likely cloth, as it passes through them. The machine is shown on a textured ground surface. A faint architectural drawing of a building, possibly a church or cathedral, featuring a central tower and arched windows. The drawing is rendered in light pencil or charcoal lines and is heavily obscured by numerous brownish stains, likely from water damage or foxing. The overall composition is symmetrical, with the central tower rising above a series of arched openings. The background is a plain, aged paper with a slightly textured appearance. Fig. 1. SQUEEZER. An engraving of a mechanical squeezer. A woman in a long dress and apron stands at a wooden table, feeding a long, thin piece of fabric into a large, horizontal, cylindrical machine. The machine has a complex gear system with two large gears and a hand crank. A long, flexible hose or tube extends from the machine to the right, ending in a loop on the floor. The machine is mounted on a sturdy, arched metal frame. STIFFENING MANGLE. Fig. 2. An engraving of a stiffening mangle. The machine consists of three large, horizontal rollers mounted on a heavy, arched metal frame. A large gear is visible on the left side, connected to a hand crank. A piece of fabric, labeled 'A', is being fed into the machine from the left. The fabric is being processed between the rollers. The frame is labeled 'B' at the base. The machine is shown on a textured ground surface. DAMPING MACHINE. Fig. 3. This illustration shows a mechanical setup for dampening fabric. A worker on the left side of the frame is feeding a large sheet of fabric onto a platform. The platform is supported by a sturdy wooden frame. On the platform, the fabric passes over a series of rollers. A large hand wheel, labeled 'A', is mounted on the side of the frame and is connected to a belt and pulley system that drives the rollers. A water tap is visible under the platform, and a small gear is labeled 'B'. CALENDER. This illustration shows a large, ornate calender machine. A worker is seated on a stool, feeding fabric onto a platform that passes over a series of rollers. The machine is mounted on a large, ornate frame.
