An old engraving of a woman working at a yarn spooler machine in a textile mill the 1800s. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. This powered machine is designed to speedily wrap the fibre onto spools, bobbins or shuttles. Cotton, linen or wool yarn is held on rollers (right) and fed down through the ‘eyes’ to the spindles which are rotated from gears below them.
