A short dictionary entry defining a bobbin stand, a frame that holds bobbins for loom warps, warping-machine threads, and spinning-machine yarns. It describes a spool rotating on a spindle fixed in a base-plate, covered by a metallic disk held with a screw-nut. An improved form adds flanges to enclose the spool heads, and the stand is topped with a twine-cutter. Illustrated by Fig. 758, a cross-section.
