A short dictionary entry defining the tackle-board used in rope-making, a frame at the head of a ropewalk holding the whirls (hooks) to which yarns are attached to be twisted into strands. It notes that three whirls are usual, matching the three strands of a rope, and describes an arrangement in which a crank-driven master wheel turns the three pinions. Includes a line illustration labeled Fig. 6161.
