An encyclopedia entry on reels from Rees's Cyclopedia. It describes rope-makers' and sail-makers' reels (bench-reel, log-reel, twine-reel, yarn-reel, hand-reel), then reels in the manufactories, including the small hand reel and the common reel or windlace used for skeins. It cross-references other articles for silk reeling and milling.
