A web essay by Brian Lemin on the confusing names used for South Bucks lace bobbins. It sets out quotations from Wright, Whiting, Freeman, Huetson, Hopewell, Bellerby and Bullock on Dumps/Bobtails, Huguenots/Thumpers, South Bucks bobbins and Bedfordshire trailers/Huntingdon trollies, with the author's comments on each. It ends with the author's proposed definitions, which divide the family by size and by the presence of loose pewter or wooden rings (gingles), followed by a reference list.
