- Clock Reel, 1800-1900 - A clock reel is a device used to wind spun yarn into measured skeins. The mechanism is similar to a mechanical clock. The dial's hand is attached to gears that count off the number of times the reel revolves. The dial kept track automatically, making it easy to know how many yards had been spun--without having to keep track in one's head.
