A short dictionary entry describing a machine for twisting and laying rope and cordage, illustrated with an engraving (Fig. 6838). It explains how strands are drawn from spools through a revolving frame and hollow axis, passed around tension-rollers, and wound onto a reel. Cone-pulleys vary the twist, and a brake equalizes the motion of the tension-rollers.
