A one-page French dictionary entry for "dévidoir" (reel or winder) from the Nouveau Larousse Illustré. It defines the textile instrument for winding flax, wool or cotton, then the fishing-line and fire-hose senses. An encyclopedic note describes the textile reel as a hexagonal drum (guindre) that forms skeins, driven by friction cones with a brake. Engravings show a fishing reel, a hose reel and five numbered dévidoirs, including horizontal, hand-operated and mechanical types.
