a pair of tenters
1. A wooden framework on which cloth is stretched after being milled, so that it may set or dry evenly and without shrinking. Also †a pair of tenters (Obsolete rare) and in plural form tenters.Formerly tenters of the length of a web of cloth stood in rows in the open air in tenter-fields or grounds, and were a prominent feature in cloth-manufacturing districts; but the process of drying and stretching is now generally done much more rapidly in tenter-houses by tenter- or tentering-machines.
