Spin′ner.

A general term for a spinning-machine. See spinning.

Spinner.

Specifically applied to a form of drawing and twisting device, as in Fig. 5401. The twisting devices are placed in proximity to the bite of the drawing-rollers, to enable them to seize hold of and draw the twisted roving evenly from the point of [2270] delivery of the feed-rolls to the draw-rolls, and to deliver the same properly drawn to the mechanism which gives the final twist. See also spinning-head; drawing-head.
