Throstle frame
The throstle frame was a spinning machine for cotton, wool, and other fibers, differing from a mule in having a continuous action, the processes of drawing, twisting, and winding being carried on simultaneously.[2] It "derived its name from the singing or humming which it occasioned,"[3] throstle being a dialect name for the song thrush.

gollark: For most stuff I just have RSS feeds instead of email, which works better.
gollark: I used to get those, but realized I didn't particularly care and turned them off.
gollark: Well, one time it decided to start sending me emails about mentions in servers because my phone was not connected to Discord or something, and as (technically) a bot developer they bother me about that.
