TFO Spindle Assembly
AssemblyThe core of the machine. The supply package sits stationary inside a pot while the hollow spindle and its storage disc spin beneath it. Yarn pulled out of the package takes one twist as it unwinds over the top of the pot and a second twist as it balloons out from the rotating disc, giving two twists per spindle turn. A full specification article for this item is being written. Meanwhile its bill of materials and connections are below.
