Caption attached reads: Lee and Foley blocking machine with 36 fingers to spread fur felt cone sufficiently to insert crown block. This is the first operation in "finishing" a hat after the fur felt body has been completed. Steam is an essential factor in the shaping and reshaping of fur felt. It is needed in abundencebut since it is also a hazard because of heat intensity it must be kept free from harming workers. V belts are used to exhaust the steam away from this operation and operators.
