a centrifuge smuggled out from the North Korean uranium enrichment program
I dunno what it is, but it looks like a cool spinny aroundy thing.
I suspect it has somethiing to do with perhaps carding wool or making yarn?
with my beginner's knowledge of knitting, I don't think it has to do with wool or yarn; doesn't look like any spindle I've seen.an early-industrial torture device?
An early device for taking care of Carpel tunnel syndrome.That or a Patented Palmer Peach Pitter. If it's the rare version, it does both.regards,J Eavey, Chesapeake
As others have sort of said, I believe it is a centrifuge for a single test tube. Note the adjustable weight at one end to allow for balancing while spinning. Either that or a Turnip Twaddler.
