A - Drive Wheel B - Spoke C - Wheel Hub D - Crank and Wheel Axle E - Wheel Support Arm F - Table or Bench G - Leg H - Treadle I & J - Treadle Bars or Rods K - Footman L - Flyer M - Bobbin N - Mother-Of-All (An assembly which consists of items L, M, O, P) O - Maiden P - Pulley Q - Tension Knob R - Distaff Parts This diagram shows a saxony style treadle-operated spinning wheel, approximately 3' x 3'. These treadle wheels were also made in upright or castle style wheels, with the mother-of-all mounted above or below the drive wheel. Parts are essentially the same. Very large spinning wheels, of approximately 5' in height, with a similar configuration to a saxony wheel, are called walking wheels or great wheels, and sometimes wool wheels. They have no treadle, and instead of a flyer mechanism between 2 maidens, one would find a pointed metal spindle, approximately 10" in length, with a wooden pulley and disk affixed to it. The large walking wheel or great wheel is the wheel of Sleeping Beauty fame.

A - Harnesses or Shafts; these include heddle rods and string or metal heddles. B - Castle C - Back Beam D - Warp Beam E - Crank, Turns Warp Beam; usually connected in some way to a brake release. F - Brake Release Handle or Pedal G - Treadles H - Lamms are in this area; not visible in photograph. I - Tie-up cords or chains J - Cloth Beam K - Front or Breast Beam L - Reed M - Beater N - Bench This diagram is of an 'h-frame' loom; parts are essentially the same for 'x-frame' looms. Table looms have front- or side-mounted levers which perform the same function as treadles. Due to the many requests I have received, I have posted some photos of ANTIQUE WEAVING LOOMS. If you would like more information, you can ORDER A Book of Looms, A History of the Handloom, $28.95 plus s&h, an excellent resource about old weaving looms from all the ages.
