To ascertain the length of Twisters with any number of spindles: Multiply one-half the number of spindles by the gauge and add 2 ft. 1 in. for head and off ends.
Although it is advantageous when possible to keep to the numbers of spindles given in the table on [page 195], other lengths can be built if necessary. Even rolls and boxes are preferable.
DRIVING PULLEYS are 8 in. to 18 in. dia., 3-1/4-in. face.
