Elementary treatise on the finishing of white, dyed, and printed cotton goods . en glazing is done withthe friction calender, the fabric is waxed, whilstin motion, either by hand or by a wax plate, towhich to and fro motion is given by one ofthe bowls. A special machine has been constructed forthis purpose vide fig. 95. It consists of an ordinarybatching roller, with engaging and disengagingcoupling within reach of the workman. In front,where the piece enters, are several stretching orscrimping bars at E to prevent creases, the piecepasses under a roller A covered with wax. Thisroller is placed at the end of the lever L. Theweight of the lever causes the roller A to rubagainst the piece which is thus waxed and batchedat B and prepared for glazing. When the pieceis not to be waxed, the whole arrangement israised by pressing with the foot the pedal P. According to the degree of glaze to be giventhe fabric is waxed two or three times. Among other machines for glazing may bementioned the beetling machine which gives quitea special lustrous appearance without 246 FINISHING IN GENERAL. BEETLING MACHINES. The beetle of English origin was first employedin Ireland, principally for linen goods. Since 1850it has been used for cotton and at the presentday this machine is found in most finishing simplest beetle consists of a strong frame,supporting a large roller upon which the goodsto be treated are rolled, above are placed twentyeight fallers, see fig. 96, p. 247, these are eachfurnished in the middle with »noses« or projectionsand lifted, by the cams of the revolving shaft:this shaft is driven by side-gearing and connectedwith the motive power of the machine, as will beunderstood by fig. 97. These cams are so disposed that each fallergives four blows for each turn of the shaft onwhich the cams are fixed. When the beetle was introduced, the beamor large bowl, on which the fabric is rolled wasworked by hand. It is now driven by a specialarrangement, the de
