the slots of the apron and holes in the bed beneath.
The slotted apron is passed over the wool and attached to a treadlelever, by which the wool is compressed, drawing it into the concave bed in position to be tied by the cord.
In
Fig. 7352, the hinged sides are thrown up and held by cord connection to the treadle.
The ends are then mutually advanced by strap connection to the drum beneath, which is rotated by a crank and sustained by a pawl.
In
Fig. 7353, the folded fleece is laid on the packing-head; the two opposite long flaps are turned up, entering the pins of one into the holes in the other, the position being sustained by clamps.
The short flaps are then raised, being locked by springs on the former.
The head is raised by the treadle, the fleece tied both ways and then released.
