The first is a machine which opens 70 lb. of Spanish wool in the hour, by a force equal to that of two men, with a boy to feed the machine with wool.
The second is a machine for mixing wools of different colors. It mixes, and at the same time opens 40 lb. of Spanish wool in the hour, with the application of the force of only one man, and with a boy to supply the wool.
The third of these machines enables a man and a boy to prepare a piece of superfine cloth of the largest breadth in the space of one hour. It requires only the force of one ordinary horse to work it.
The fourth is a complete loom, with a fly shuttle, which may be wrought by a single person placed in the middle of it.
