A machine in wliich damp clothes aresmoothed by roller pressure, n lejiresents the old-fashioned mangle, which had a box weighted withstones and reciprocating n]ion rollers which ranback and forth upon the clothes, spread upon a pol-ished table beneath. 6 is an im|iroved form of mangle on the jirinciideof the wringer. The clothes are passed betweenpressure-rollers driven by gearing. In Fig. 3044, a series of rollers is disposed arounda (Central drum, so that the garments are not sub-jected to (indue pressure at but one or two points,as in the case of mangles having only two rollers. On the frame axis of the large roller is an openwheel geaiiiig into pinions on the axes of the smallerrollers ; each of the latter has a rubber spring which MANGLE. 1383 MAN-HOLE. Fig. Mangtes, presses it towards the large roller, and the pressureof the spring is regulated by a thumb-screw /. Thelarge revoking roller has a clam|) S for the eilge ofthe clothes as they are fed between that roller andthe series of rollers that abut upon it. This is toprevent the necessity of feeding the clothes at the Fig. 30«.
