Mule spinning frame
Mule spinning frame: a spinning machine invented by samuel crompton in 1782 andtermed “mule” because it was a combination of the machines invented by arkwright and hargreaves. It was once widely used for spinning wool and to a lesser extent for very fine counts of cotton yarn. Its action was intermittent and slower than that of the more current ring spinning frame. It drew out and twisted a length of yarn and then wound it in the form of a cop, or bobbin, then repeated the cycle. (Also see spinning frame.)
