A short historical article by F. M. Feldhaus examining the claim that a Brunswick wood carver named Juergen invented the spinning wheel in 1530. Feldhaus traces the claim to a 1722 chronicle and argues against it, citing a complete spinning wheel drawn in the c. 1480 "Medieval House Book" and drawings by Leonardo da Vinci. The article is illustrated with five woodcuts and line drawings of early spinning wheels and spinning scenes.
