A one-page dictionary entry describing the Byewater spinning machine, a continuous spinner contrasted with the intermittent action of the spinning mule. It explains how sliver from a condenser bobbin passes over porcupine combing rollers and small draft rollers in a disk, then to a high-speed spindle with a needle flyer. It notes the machine can spin short fibers such as silk noil waste and describes the traverse motion that builds the yarn cop.
