This lass is a reeler.

The reelers now advanced with much proficiency, and five of them, on the 10th of May, wound off eleven pounds of cocoons each.

The public duties of Mr. Habersham prevented his constant attention to this business; but the whole time of Mr. Robinson was devoted to the filature, directing the sorters, aiding the novices, advising the reelers, and in every way exerting himself to obtain success.

"I think him the most prudent as well as the most capable person I ever knew, to undertake such a work, and if he could be continued here, I doubt not but that he would turn out a number of well instructed reelers, who would be able to conduct filatures at Ebenezer, Augusta, and other parts of the province."

" "D'you mean the reelers are on it?" Hewitt looked cautiously over his shoulder, leaned toward Wilks, and said: "Look here: this is the straight tip.

I never knew a reeler do that before.

Each time the reel has made 120 revolutions and the bell rings, the reeler ties up the several cuts in the width, so that when the mill-hank is complete, each individual cut will be distinct.
