A rod used for spinning and then winding natural fibres (especially wool), usually consisting of a shaft and a circular whorl positioned at either the upper or lower end of the shaft when suspended vertically from the forming thread
(biology) tiny fibers that are seen in cell division; the fibers radiate from two poles and meet at the equator in the middle; "chromosomes are distributed by spindles in mitosis and meiosis"
The metal rod that runs through a mortise or tubular latch, with a door knob or lever on each end When the knob or lever is turned, it activates the latch, which opens or closes the door
The part of the vehicle's suspension/steering system that the hub/wheel bearing assembly rides on Spindles are typically found on rear wheel and 4WD systems
{i} small rod with tapered ends around which thread is twisted while spinning; rotating machine part or axis; cellular axis around which chromosomes are distributed during meiosis; rod of turned wood
a stick or pin used to twist the yarn in spinning any of various rotating shafts that serve as axes for larger rotating parts (biology) tiny fibers that are seen in cell division; the fibers radiate from two poles and meet at the equator in the middle; "chromosomes are distributed by spindles in mitosis and meiosis
The long, round, slender rod or pin in spinning wheels by which the thread is twisted, and on which, when twisted, it is wound; also, the pin on which the bobbin is held in a spinning machine, or in the shuttle of a loom
A network of fibrous microtubules and associated molecules formed during mitosis between the opposite poles (centromeres) of eukaryotic cells It mediates the movement of the duplicated chromosomes to opposite poles
- a spike-shaped piece of metal used for forming the cone-shaped combustion chamber inside of a rocket The increased surface area provides maximum thrust
