  said 
  spindle

  be 
  thrown 
  by 
  an

  into 
  or

  a 
  gear-wheel 
  that 
  turns 
  on 
  the 
  bracket 
  of 
  the 
  spindle-bear- 
  

   ing, 
  and 
  is 
  operated 
  by 
  a 
  crank-handle. 
  A 
  slide-piece 
  throws 
  the 
  trans- 
  

   mitting 
  mechanism 
  into 
  gear 
  for 
  winding 
  up 
  the 
  line 
  at 
  great 
  speed, 
  or 
  

   out 
  of 
  gear 
  to 
  admit 
  the 
  independent 
  motion 
  of 
  the 
  spindle 
  in 
  throwing 
  

   out 
  the

  Heretofore, 
  it 
  is 
  said, 
  in 
  nearly 
  all 
  multiplying 
  reels 
  the 
  results 
  de. 
  

   sired 
  have 
  been 
  obtained 
  by 
  attaching 
  to 
  the 
  head-plate 
  of 
  the 
  reel 
  a 
  

   rigid 
  post, 
  upou 
  which 
  revolved 
  a 
  gear-wheel 
  operated 
  by 
  a 
  crank- 
  

   handle 
  supported 
  by 
  the 
  post, 
  by 
  a 
  revolving 
  plate 
  which 
  substantially 
  

   constituted 
  a 
  crank-handle, 
  or 
  by 
  a 
  short 
  shaft 
  not 
  extending 
  through 
  

   the 
  reel, 
  but 
  with 
  a 
  single 
  bearing 
  in 
  the 
  head-plate. 
  The 
  effect 
  in 
  

   either 
  event 
  was 
  to 
  bring 
  the 
  strain 
  in 
  one 
  direction 
  upon 
  a 
  point 
  be- 
  

   tween 
  the 
  center 
  and 
  periphery 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  -plate 
  and 
  one 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  

   reel 
  in 
  another, 
  reducing 
  the 
  leverage 
  of 
  the 
  crank-handle, 
  and 
  increas- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  friction 
  by 
  reason 
  of 
  the 
  lateral 
  strain 
  on 
  the 
  gear-wheel, 
  crank, 
  

   and 
  main 
  shaft. 
  The 
  object 
  is 
  to 
  overcome 
  these 
  difficulties 
  and 
  pro-
