A short dictionary entry from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary describing a cord-covering machine, which wraps a cord or wire with thread or silk. The accompanying figure (Fig. 1449) shows a cross-section with spindles, yarn bobbins, flyer bobbins and guides. The text explains how the flyers twist silk around the yarn and how three covered yarns are then twisted into a threefold cord or bullion.
