One roller was close to the wheels and other large rollers of the machine itself.

The other was back from it a little; and the cloth, being extended from one of these to the other, formed a sort of flat table just before the machine.
The girl who came to tend the machine immediately opened the great bundle of wool, and then she took up a handful of it, and began to spread it evenly over the cloth.

When she had got the cloth pretty nearly covered she pulled a handle pretty near her, and that, in some mysterious way or other, set the machinery a-going.

The cloth, with all the wool upon it, began to move towards the great rollers of the machine.

These rollers were covered with card teeth, and the wool, as it was drawn in between them, was carded fine, and spread evenly over all the surface; and in a few minutes Jonas and Oliver found that it began to come out at the other end, in the shape of rolls.
