throstle frame

The throstle frame was a descendant of the water frame.

In 1828 the Danforth throstle frame was invented in the United States.

Its rival, the throstle frame or ring frame uses a continuous process, where the roving is drawn, twisted and wrapped in one action.

The throstle frame was an early method of spinning yarn, and was a direct descendant of the spinning wheel.

The throstle frame was a spinning machine for cotton, wool, and other fibers, differing from a mule in having a continuous action, the processes of drawing, twisting, and winding being carried on simultaneously.
