Double drive wheel set up with Scotch tension




Scotch tension can be rigged on a double drive antique wheel for those who prefer it.
This is one way to do it, if the flyer on your wheel will clear the string across the top http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEBj3zeFiPg

This seriously authentic-looking woman, with the emphasis on the serious part, has dropped a string from the string connecting the top of the maidens around her bobbin. I can’t see where that string goes after it goes around the bobbin, but it may return to the the top crossways string.
I just tied a string around the mother-of-all and brought it up over my bobbin, and then down through the hole for the distaff and tied a rock on it.
