Summary
Four almost identical and intricate pieces of machinery, probably knotters. They all consist of small pieces of intricately joined metal including a brass cog and pulley system, several springs and also a fork-shaped attatchment. These accessories are known as spiders and are used for 'drawing in' on a loom.
