A |
Fly Wheel - The wheel that rotates when treadling and causes
the other various parts to operate. The size of this wheel
varies from model to model and gives the ratio of the fly wheel
to the flyer whorl.
|
F |
Mother-Of-All - The bar that mounts the maidens, flyer, bobbin,
and tension knob.
|
|
B |
Drive Band - A cord that goes around the fly wheel and the
flyer whorl and around the bobbin on a double drive band wheel.
|
G |
Tension Knob Used to adjust the
tension of the drive band by lowering or raising the
mother-of-all. Bobbin Rotates on the spindle along with the
flyer and stores the yarn. It can operate with or independent of
the drive band.
|
|
C |
Flyer - A U-shaped piece of wood with hooks lined up on one or
both arms. The hooks are used to store the yarn evenly on the
bobbin. The flyer is rotated by the drive band which as a result
puts the twist into the fibre.
|
I |
Treadle
- The pedal(s) that operates the wheel by using your
feet. |
|
D |
Flyer Whorl - A pulley attached to the flyer and operated by
the drive band. The different sized grooves on the flyer whorl
determine how fast the wheel will spin.
|
J |
Footman
- The bar the connects the treadle to the fly wheel and causes
it to turn. |
|
E |
Maidens - The upright posts that hold the flyer and the bobbin. |
K |
Orifice - The
opening at the end of the spindle where the yarn goes through to
connect to the hooks of the flyer. |
