Overflows... have been designed for delicate knitted and woven fabrics made of natural and synthetic fibres. They are also found in the carpet sector. The main difference between jet and overflow machines remains in the fact that in jet machines the fabric is transported by the bath flowing at high speed through the nozzle, while with overflows the fabric is transported by the gravitational force of the liquor overflow. A winch(usually not motor driven) is located in the upper part of the machine and the fabric hangs over it. A longer length of textile hangs from the exit sideof the winch than from the inlet side. Gravitational forces pull the longer length of textile downward more strongly than the shorter. The fabric is therefore soaked in the bath without any tension(transportation is very gentle). 1, record 3, English, - overflow%20machine

Les machines overflow [...] ont été conçues pour les tricots et les tissus délicats, à base de fibres naturelles et synthétiques. On les utilise également dans le secteur du tapis. La différence principale entre les machines de type jet et overflow est que dans les premières, l'étoffe est transportée par le bain entraîné à haute vitesse à travers la tuyère, alors que dans les machines overflow, ce transport est assuré par le débordement du bain. Une tournette (généralement non entraînée par un moteur) est disposée dans la partie supérieure de la machine, sur laquelle l'étoffe est placée en porte à faux, en ce sens que le poids de la matière textile est plus grand à la sortie de la tournette qu'à l'entrée. Du fait de la pesanteur, l'étoffe est immergée dans le bain sans subir la moindre tension (le transport se fait tout en douceur). 1, record 3, French, - machine%20overflow

Moleskin and Corduroy are rugged cotton fabrics long used in outdoor wear, as trousers, jackets, vests and shirts... a few mills to maintain production of high quality cotton moleskin fabrics. Moleskin and corduroy are both fustian fabrics, woven with a twilled weave to form a thick dense cloth, and having a cut nap on one side. With the moleskin, the fabric is brushed to form the nap... The nap or pile is then sheared to form a uniform surface. The best quality fabrics are very tightly woven from fine threads of long staple cotton... Moleskin, with a brushed nap, is softer than corduroy, and, with uniform thickness, is somewhat more wind resistant... Both [fabrics] however are rugged long lasting materials providing great comfort and good protection from wind chill. 2, record 4, English, - moleskin%20fabric
