The split spindle ornament was much used on furniture of the period.
They were beautifully carved, very often, the doors to the enclosed portions having heads, Tudor roses, arches, spindle ornaments and many other designs common to the Tudor and Jacobean periods.
It is true that the records of prehistoric man show us that in fashioning pottery he used a disc that he revolved on a spindle and applied to the surface of the urn or vase; and it is also true that a revolving disc is a kind of wheel.
This was such hard work that he bethought him to twist a string of sinew about the upright spindle and cause it to twirl by pulling alternately at the two string ends, as some savage races still do.
Suppose that while one were bearing on pretty hard with a well-tightened string, in order to bring fire quickly, the point of the spindle should slip from its block.
They used no bow, however, and two or three boys were necessary to make a fire, one to hold the spindle and two others to saw on the moccasin string (Fig.
The spindle runs horizontally between these two posts and the pressure is secured by a thong or cord tied around the two posts, which tends to pull them toward each other.
It is not necessary to tell the reader that when using the bow for power, the twirling spindle cannot be held down with the bare hand, consequently the use of the thimble for that purpose is necessary.
The spindle is worked by a bow the same as the one already described and the fire is produced in the same manner.
They spun the thin spindle by rolling it between the palms of their hands and as pressure was exerted the hands gradually slid down to the thick lower end of the spindle.
C); they keep the spindle upright by holding the pointed upper end of it in a hole (S) drilled into a piece of serpentine, or soapstone.
THE FIRE-PAN The fire-pan is a chip, shingle or wooden dust-pan used to catch the charred dust as it is pushed out by the twirling spindle (Fig.
At the inside end of each notch make an indenture only sufficiently deep to barely hold the end of your spindle while you make the preliminary twirls which gradually enlarge the socket to fit the end of your spindle.
The twirling stick or spindlemay be three-quarters of an inch in diameter at the middle; constant use and sharpening will gradually shorten the spindle.
The upright support for the bearing of the spindle in a lathe.
One of these, and usually the most restless, is connected with a spindle which comes down into the turret from the roof, and which is, in fact, the spindle of the wind vane.
However, it will spring very easily as the stanchion under the end of the spindle is so near the end.
The spindle or trigger is run thru the bait and should be fastened on trigger near the end as shown in illustration elsewhere.
Get your spindle ready, flatten the top of either end a little, then cut a stanchion just the right length to set under the spindle on the first top log.

At the extremities the spindle of Necessity hung, and determined the revolutions of the celestial spheres.
This genius first led her to Clotho, who, with her hand, and with a revolution of the spindle confirmed the chosen destiny.
Clotho, now and then, touched the spindle with her right hand, and made it revolve externally.
I would lop boughs rather than have a growing thing spindle as if rooted in Ste.
The girl had sprung from her seat while speaking, her eyes flashed and she swung her spindle in the air, quite unconscious that in so doing she was breaking the thread and entangling the flax.
In this absence of the distaff, and especially in twirling the spindle like a top on the floor, the process can never be viewed as one derived from abroad; but rather as a result solely of primitive ingenuity.
From this she twists a thread with her finger, and attaches the end to the spindle at the top, giving it an energetic twirl that keeps it going for some time.
As soon as a full length is twisted, it is wound round the spindle, another length is added, and so on, till the spindle is fully charged.
A spindle (a smooth rod ten or twelve inches in length) is passed through, and made to turn in them, as in two journals.
See the section S, where a, a is the spindle and b, b, the boards, and c a pin to keep the spindlein its place.
When the spindle is not in motion, the calabash prevents it from falling over, the fly resting against the sides.
We know that the distaff and spindle have never been lost where once known, in the old world.
When a suitable stick, having a branch at right angles, can be procured, the cross stick and spindle are of one piece, as at S.
She is in the act of winding on the spindle the length of thread just spun.
Compare the products of the distaff and spindle of old with that of our mills, and how difficult to realize the change which modern mechanism has wrought!
The process differs but little from that of the present Pimos and Maricopas tribes, as mentioned hereafter, except in the hollow in which the spindle turns.
The ancient spindle and loom of the East, singularly enough, are still preserved and used for special purposes in modern Rome, just as they were thirty or forty centuries ago.
The lower end of thespindle is rounded or rudely pointed, and when in use the instrument is placed in a calabash or clean iron kettle.
The spindle being supported in proper collars, has a rapid rotatory motion communicated to it by a pulley on the opposite end, round which an endless strap is passed from a drum placed overhead in the mill.
In general, for fine work, 30 turns of the large spindle per minute are the utmost that can safely be made.
Each spindle is mounted with a small pulley or wharf w, at its lower part, and a particular band, which goes round that wharf or whorl, and the drum y.
The arm and fluke, also, are formed of one piece punched through without curling or crossing the fibre, and the spindle which holds the arm to the crown is likewise straight.
The spindle i of the lathe turns by similar means to the last, but slower; only ten turns per minute will be sufficient.
The roller C, of light wood, presses gently with its weight upon the cardings, while they move onwards over the endless cloth, with the running out of the spindle carriage.
Upon this conical portion there is a pulley k, furnished with two grooves in its circumference, in which the cord runs that causes the spindle to revolve.
It is likewise manifest from a comparison of these two figures that the spindles are alternately placed in two rows, so that each spindle of the back range stands opposite the interval between two in the front range.
By this extension, the sliver becomes so small, that it would break with the slightest force, and it is therefore necessary to give some twist; this is done by a spindle and flyer.
There is thus a constant length of yarn to be wound on the rove bobbin per minute, and the speed of the bobbin, which is driven independently of the spindle and flyer, is constant for any one series of rove coils on the bobbin.
This view shows about three-fourths of the full width of a 96-spindle machine, 48 spindles on each side, two practically full-length cops and one partially built.
The spindles and their flyers are also driven at a constant speed, because in all cases we have-- spindle speed = delivery x twist.
It can also be worked by manual labour with capstan bars, a drum-head E', fitted on the spindle on the main deck, enabling additional capstan bars to be used if required.
The earlier forms were of a comparatively simple character, made of wood with an iron spindle and worked by manual labour with wooden capstan bars.
The moving system consists of~ a thin soft iron pear shaped plate I pivoted on a horizontal spindle S running in jewelled centers.
To this spindle S is also attached a light pointer P and a light wire W, bent as shown, and carrying a light piston D, which works in a curved air tube T.
These corks are to be perforated with holes of different diameters, so as to suit that part of the spindle on which they are to be fixed.
This wheel serves as a fly to make the motion equable, when the spindle with the glasses is turned by the foot like a spinning-wheel.
The glasses being thus turned, you are to be provided with a case for them, and a spindle on which they are to be fixed.

The point of the spindlepressed against the impressing surface, or platen, which was held in place by iron rods connecting it with the collar.
This will bring the segment G1 in contact with the roller R1, and the roller will instantly tend to run along it, as a car-wheel runs along the track, because friction with the spindle causes it to revolve.
But if you prevented such revolution, as by clutching the spindle E firmly, and then whirled the gyrostat about at arm's length, the axis O A would at once be forced to take an upright position.
