You are both so close. Think of a process necessary to textile manufacture that is domestic as well.

You've both got it. Part of a range of chairs and stools made by the Singer Sewing Machine Company. Now selling for ridiculous prices, look them up!
Next one?

Straight in there Gloria. Dead right. This job gets harder and harder!.

Was it made like that so it would run quieter than two steel gears?

Bugger. So you saw straight away that the teeth on one half of the bevel were wooden? Yes, dead right, it also made for smoother running as well.
I'll have to think of another one wont I.....

Winding bobbins? Could it be a mule frame?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 05 Jun 2021, 11:01
Once again, on the right track but sorry no, it isn't a mule frame.

Doubling?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Condensor spinning?

Sorry no. Think back to the first factories and wig making!
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 06 Jun 2021, 07:26
Is it for making the skull cap which is the foundation for the wig?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 06 Jun 2021, 07:39
No Gloria, that was a bit misleading. The man who perfected the machine trained as a wig maker.
