From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Reeding \Reed"ing\ (r?d"?ng), n. [From 4th {Reed}.]
      1. (Arch.) A small convex molding; a reed (see Illust.
            (i) of {Molding}); one of several set close together to
                  decorate a surface; also, decoration by means of
                  reedings; -- the reverse of fluting.
  
      Note: Several reedings are often placed together, parallel to
               each other, either projecting from, or inserted into,
               the adjining surface. The decoration so produced is
               then called, in general, reeding.
  
      2. The nurling on the edge of a coin; -- commonly called
            milling.
