An old engraving of a Victorian bobbin winder. It is from a mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. This powered machine is designed to speedily wrap the yarn onto spools, bobbins or shuttles. Cotton, linen or wool yarn is held on a beam or roll (top) and fed down through the ‘eyes’ to wind on to the individual bobbins or spindles, that are held on skewers rotated from gears below them.
