Spinning mills used 'line shafting,' which is the means by which the power of the steam engine is transmitted along rotation shafts (rods) to spinning or weaving mills. This animation depicts a spinning mill like that found at Quarry Bank museum in Chesire. It shows a furnace powering a flywheel, whih is there to smooth out the otherwise jerky rotation of the crank. In spinning mills, which could be multi-storey, there are large numbers of ropes c oming off the flywheel. These 'rope races' convey power to the mill's different floors.
