maiden bar. Then place
the drive belt around

Single drive ratios:
The ratio with the drive
belt around the large flyer
pulley is approx. 7:1.
To spin a finer yarn while
treadling at the same
speed, move the drive belt
to one of the centre pulleys
- either 9:1 or 12:1.
To spin a very fine yarn,
move the drive belt onto
the small flyer pulley and
re-tension it. This ratio is
approx. 17:1.
