Scope note
Mechanized devices designed to increase the thickness, compactness, and consistency of woolen fibers by subjecting woolen cloth to moisture, heat, friction, and pressure. Woolen cloth is first submerged in a vessel where it is treated with liquid; the wet cloth is then removed from the vessel by means of cylindrical rollers which agigate and beat the cloth before transferring it to a fulling box to be shrunk.
