TO WIND THE BOBBIN

Place the reel on the spindle, nearest the fly-wheel, pass the cotton as it comes from the reel, through the eyelet (11), between the two tension discs (12), then under the bar (13), and then into the hole at the end of the bobbin from the inside; now press down the gate (R), and insert the bobbin in the winder so that the hole at the end fits over the pin (Q); draw out the piston (H) and place the other end of the bobbin in position; then push up firmly the knob on winder at point (N), and that will connect the winder with the fly-wheel, and proceeed to wind the bobbin by turning the handle of the machine.

If needed, the bobbin can be wound whilst the machine is being worked, as it requires no attention, and disconnects itself when full.
