It may also be remarked, that the above-mentioned machines are not adapted to thebleaching of linen ; for the latter cloth, not having the same elasticity as cotton, if it shouldbecome tight, would either be pulled narrow or torn. In illustration of the continuous process as at present used, tlie plan of proceeding atMessrs. McXaughten, Barton, and Thorns, at Chorley, may be described: 1. In order that there may be no interruption in the process, the pieces are united inone continuous piece—each piece being about 30 yards, the whole varying with the
