A supplement to Ures Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures, and Mines, : containing a clear exposition of their principles and practice. . the floods arc introduced and removed ; ^ < are gauges, by which it is ascertained when th«liquor has passed from one kier and has entered the other. The process adopted for bleaching is as follows; it is the shortest and simplest in use: • 1. The box or water trough of the washing machine is then half filled with milk of limeof considerable consistence, and the goods are run through it, being carried forward by thewinches and deposited in the kicrs. Tiic whole of the cloth in a kier is in one length, anda boy enters the vessel to lay it in regular folds until the kier is filled. All the doth beforeentering the kier must pass through tlie lime. 2. When the kiers are filled, a grid of movable bars is laid on the top of the cloth, andthe manhole of the kiers is closed. High-pressure steam is then admitted at the top ; thispresses down the goods and removes the lime water, which is drawn oft at the bottom. Atthe same time the air is also removed from the goods and replaced by steam
