and which gathers up the thread or yarn as it is spun. The spindle is so con-
trived as to draw faster than the rolers or cylinders give, in proportion to the
length of thread or yarn into which the matter to be spun is proposed to be
drawn; a further explanation of which is set forth in the Plans and Draughts

stand much longer, and are capable of being mended when impaired by the
metal, which no other potts are. The potts made to stand on each side the
fire, or be made into only one pott, and the furnace may or may not be built
on the brim of the pott, according to the size of the house and furnace.
