A short dictionary entry from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary describing a hand spinning machine in which a carding (rolag) is fed by hand to a spindle turned by a cord from a large wheel. The entry explains that a treadle moves the spindle away from the seated spinner, replacing the usual practice of walking backward to draw out the carding. It includes one line drawing (Fig. 288) of the wheel, treadle base, weight and carding arm.
