There is a Tube Dresser, who dresses or files the joints of brazed tubes, and corrects minor defects in the tubes on completion of manufacture.

A Tripe Dresser scalds the tripe in hot water, scrapes of the outer skin, boils for three hours, and scrapes of the inner skin; operates a belt-driven circular machine brush which cleanses the tripe in a stream of cold water.
