That’s very interesting, but it’s not at all apparent what the machine is doing, aside from moving back and forth. I would appreciate a video that explains its operation, particularly just how it spins yarn or thread.
Just researching this. I believe that as the 'carriage' moves forward it is drawing the carded fibre from the rollers at the back, it rapidly spins it to twist the fibres and make it into stronger thread, then as the carriage moves back in the new thread is wound onto the spools. Then the process repeats.
1. Yes, they didn’t have electricity. 2. The steam inside of a piston builds pressure, this in turn moves the piston which rotates a wheel (like the one on the roof which is sending the mule back and fourth) 3. It wasnt, it was steam powered.
How do people think up these ingenious machines? Fun fact: The Bee Gees' great-great-great-great maternal grandfather is the inventor Samuel Crompton. As the eldest son, he carries Crompton as a middle name.
Clara Parkes describes how this machine works in her new book. It is very elegant. Thank you for the video.
Do you know the name of the book please?

@@clrose79 Thank you so much!
@@clrose79 How many of us are watching spinning mules on TH-cam because of her book?

I did, absolutely

The curvy wheel spokes are similar to ones found on +100 year old ore carts in abandoned mines.
WOW! that's an incredible machine
As a mule spinner myself that's a rough sounding spinning mule. I would like to sort that mule out and get it running so much better. Ahhh.
Did the machine run on steam in the 19th century? What made the machine move and more importantly, how was the machine supplied with power back then ?

amazing at 2:00 now I know how to do the piecing, I might give it a try
is this what a creeler does?
Ok, nice. But can it run Doom?
What does this dooo?
@@Delicious_J thx
Spins wool into yarn.

Ya know, a town with money is a little like the mule with a spinning wheel... No one knows how he got it and danged if he knows how to use it
And then after doing this long enough you get scrotal cancer! Yay!
