Summary
A cone winder made by Leesona Universal Winding Company, Boston U.S.A, in 1948. This machine takes pirns (bobbins) of spun cotton yarn and winds them onto cones. The individual pirns of yarn are tied together using a knotter or by hand using a weavers' knot, to create one consistent length of thread on the resulting cone.
