Model of an Installation for Tarring Rope Yarn, Model of a device for tying cable yarns on a floorboard. The working of the model remains unclear. On one side a tar reservoir is suggested with two holes through which a rope can run. In the other half a framework with wheels has been established: it looks like a press, but this remains uncertain. Two heavy wheels turn on each other: the flat surface of the upper turns into the slot of the lower. A set of cheeks following the circumference of the lower wheel is superimposed on this and guides the upper wheel. The movement of both wheels is synchronized by a pair of double gears next to the wheels. The top wheel with gears is mounted in a frame that can be moved up and down with the help of a weight lever, probably to control the pressure. The lower wheel is driven by a crank, which is missing, and has a sprocket on the side of the frame that, probably with a pawl that is now missing, prevented recoil., anonymous, United States of America (possibly), 1800 - 1825, wood (plant material), brass (alloy), iron (metal), h 18.2 cm × w 40.6 cm × d 22.6 cm
