Hindoo Spinning-Wheel (1852)[1]

A spinning wheel is a device for spinning thread or yarn from fibres.[2] It was fundamental to the cotton textile industry prior to the Industrial Revolution. It laid the foundations for later machinery such as the spinning jenny and spinning frame, which displaced the spinning wheel during the Industrial Revolution.
