Carding machine,19th century. Illustration of a ribbon breaker carding machine used in the cotton and textile industry. Carding is a technique used to disentangle,clean,and mix fibres such as cotton or wool. Manual carding was a laborious process,and the invention of carding machines in the 18th century speeded up and mechanised the process.
