For this purpose, the spindles, instead of being stationary, are placed on a movable carriage, which is wheeled out to twist the threads and wheeled in again to wind on the spindles. Mr. Kennedy, the friend and biographer of Crompton, states:— The great and important invention of Crompton was his spindle-carriage and the principle of the thread having no strain upon it till it was completed. The carriage with the spindles could, by the movement of the hand and knee, recede just as the rollers delivered out the elongated thread in a soft state, so that it would allow of a considerable stretch before the thread had to encounter the stress of winding on the spindle.
