Summary[edit]

Description
Nederlands: Op deze twijnmolen is plaats voor 47 bobijnen, goed voor 47 getorste draden. Door aan de molen te draaien doet één arbeider het werk dat anders de inzet vraagt van 47 man. Als de twijnmolen wordt aangesloten op een waterrad, is er zelfs géén mankracht meer nodig. Dit stuk uit 1789 is wellicht de oudst bestaandende vlastwijnmolen ter wereld. Het is erkend als Vlaams Topstuk. Collectie Industriemuseum.
English: This twining mill could hold 47 spools, for making 47 twisted yarns. One worker could turn the mill, otherwise 47 men would be needed to do the same work. Once connected to a waterwheel it no longer required manpower. Recognized as a Flemish masterpiece, this item dating back to 1789 is probably the oldest existing flax twining mill in the world. Museum of Industry Collection.
Français : Ce retordoir peut accueillir 47 bobines, soit 47 fils retordus. En faisant tourner le retordoir, un seul ouvrier accomplit un travail qui nécessiterait autrement 47 hommes. Si le retordoir est raccordé à une roue hydraulique, la force humaine devient même inutile. Cette pièce datant de 1789 est probablement le plus ancien retordoir de lin existant au monde. Il est reconnu comme « Vlams Topstuk » (pièce maîtresse flamande). Collection Musée de l'Industrie.
