Re: textile machine ID

[Debbie Lema <dlema@xxxxxxxxxxx>]



I would send this along to Carpet and Rug Institute and ask them; they have a lot of good information on textile manufacturing history.  One of their member mills may be able to help as well.

Hello All!

I need an identification.� This machine was found in our collection, but we really don�t have any textile experts here. Can anyone tell me what it was for and a date? We think possibly for brushing cloth. Does it have an �official� name?

�

As always: Thank You!
