A single dictionary entry on 'bobine' (bobbin, spool, coil) from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It defines the term as a small flanged cylinder for winding textile threads, then lists specialized senses in electricity, spinning (the roll made by the boudineuse and ribbon-carder bobbins), wire drawing and mining. Most of the text is an encyclopedic note on electrical coils (resistance, induction, Weber's bifilar coil), with small figures of wooden bobbins and coil diagrams.
