A short illustrated article by Brian Lemin (December 2008) proposing common terminology for describing lace bobbins. It names the parts of a bobbin (head, bulb, short neck, long neck, shank/shaft, tail, bottom bead) and gives descriptive vocabulary for bulb and neck shapes. It also presents bobbin-turning profiles such as vee groove, sunk bead, cove, baluster and vase-ring-and-bulb, and notes on mother-and-babe chambers. Photographs and line drawings illustrate the terms.
