The show might have been bobbins, but you'll never forget the end credits.
In the earliest days of cotton spinning, the small fibres would stick to the bobbins, and make it necessary to stop and clear the machinery.
In winding the filling bobbins the girls watch the thread from eighteen bobbins, and replace and stop bobbins by pressing on foot pedals.
In this case, the hose then passes through a braiding machine that has circumferential wire coil holders, or so-called bobbins.
The bobbins were sent to the fifth floor.
The rest is distributed among small shapes like "skyphoi", "kantharoi" and bobbins.
