 Battledore maker____________carpet beater maker
I read an old-fashioned book where someone spoke of battledore, and my memory is telling me that it referred to playing badminton. I thought that it meant what was known as the shuttlecock, and now is called the birdie, here. But perhaps it meant the racquet?
