A dictionary entry from Knight's New Mechanical Dictionary describing a double silk winder used to reel silk from cocoons. It explains the parts of the machine (heated basin, porcelain filières, croiseur or twister, trembleur vibrators, reciprocating triangle bar, and back reel) and how cocoon filaments are softened, gathered, twisted and wound into hanks. It includes a perspective illustration (Fig. 2260).
