There is a large framework at both ends, connected at the top by a crossbar. Two reels with yarns and a crank are fitted on one side, and three empty reels on the other, one with a drum and crank. On one side is a tripod with a round blade with a pin or vertical axis on it., anonymous, United Kingdom, c. 1849, wood (plant material), brass (alloy), rope, h 24.3 cm × w 31.2 cm × d 19.3 cm
