Spinning
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A single page from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary showing three illustrations of hand-spinning equipment: a flax wheel with card and reel, an 'Old-Time' wool-wheel, and a knot-reel. The text defines the spinning sense of 'wheel' as a hand-machine for twisting rovings or yarn and refers readers to the entry SPINNING. The page also carries the end of the entry on wheels in other senses (nautical tiller-wheel, pyrotechnic wheel-cases and Catherine-wheels).
