Hi everyone
Historic terms HMMmmmm
I stumbled over many especially in the historic millwrighting field like "spiders" "gudgeons" "barrel wheel" "rose wheel"
"muley saw", and in the woolen mills the terminology is just staggering. The processes of operating and repairing the old equipment is unreal.
many of the terms to describe parts of machinery used then are not in any modern dictionaries, you have to be lucky enough to have descriptive plates in old texts to refer to that label the part with a descriptive name
